Bolton College meets many Higher Education student needs through Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) and Certificates (HNCs). Our existing students find that choosing to stay on at college locally, significantly reduces the cost of gaining a Higher Education qualification. Our prices are benchmarked to be highly competitive and offer excellent value for money.

Bolton College scores high in satisfaction survey ratings for its HE provision.
