Established in 2012 on the principles of opportunity, empowerment, and community, TEC is a forward-thinking institution dedicated to expanding access to quality education, fostering personal growth, and enhancing career prospects.
Study Centres
We aim to provide education that meets the needs of local communities, which is why we have established study centres in three cities across the UK: Nottingham, Leicester, and Birmingham.
Having study centres in these cities enables us to widen participation among people from
under-represented communities, who often lack the confidence and support needed to achieve academic and career success.

Our Current Courses
We offer courses at a range of levels to suit students at four different stages in their development. Students who start with basic English and Maths training will be able to stay with us throughout their academic journey, progressing to a university level education and career success. Alongside basic English and Maths courses, we specialise in Door Supervisor training, and Diplomas in Business and Management. We are also approved to offer Level 3 courses in Health & Social Care, appropriate for people wishing to start a career in the health sector.
These courses give you the skills and confidence you need to communicate and use basic maths effectively, preparing you for employment or further studies.
