Head of College’s Welcome

Adult education isn’t just about gaining new qualifications — it’s about reclaiming your confidence, unlocking your potential, and discovering what you are truly capable of.

As an avid lifelong learner myself, I believe I would not be where I am today in my career and life without the support and encouragement provided by adult education. I left school at 16 with very few qualifications and was advised to become a dinner lady because of the low expectations imposed on me by others.

I’m proud to say that a spark of self-belief grew into something powerful. After gaining my qualifications and taking creative courses to support my mental well-being and build my confidence, I began to flourish — thanks to adult education.

As a result, I owned my first jazz restaurant in my 20s, became one of the youngest college principals in London in my 30s, and became an author in my 40s. I could not have achieved any of this without adult education.

At Bromley Adult Education College, age is no barrier, background is no limit, and your past does not define your future. What matters is your willingness to grow, to learn, and to believe in the power of your own story.

Whether you’re a current student continuing your journey with us or a potential student considering taking that courageous first step — you are in the right place.

Bromley Adult Education College exists to support, uplift, and inspire you. That’s why we offer not just courses, but a community. You are capable of incredible things if you put your mind to it — and we are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
