TEC was established in 2012 in order to meet the needs of local people, who lack the education they need for gainful employment or academic success. Our dedicated team of professionals is committed to ensuring that students receive a high-quality education, which equips them with the knowledge, skills, and qualifications needed to develop their career and enhance their life chances.

Mission, Vision & Values

Our Mission

To provide students within local communities with the holistic education they need to improve their life chances.

Our Vision

To become a foremost provider of the complete education journey, supporting adults from basic skills courses up to university degrees and career success.

STUDY CENTRES​

We aim to provide education that meets the needs of local communities, which is why we have opened study centres in three cities across the UK: Nottingham (Head Office), Leicester, and Birmingham. Having study centres in three cities allows us to widen participation to people from under-represented communities, who lack the confidence and support they need for academic and career success.
