Engineering Lecturer (Aeronautical)

Located in the town of the same name, Bedford College is a co-educational further education college, with close to 9,000 learners of all types. The college operates two main campuses in the local area, obtained through its acquisition of various current and former colleges. Bedford College is therefore able to run an impressive range of facilities, including high-quality engineering workshops dedicated to aeronautics, hydraulics and electronics among others, as well as various common rooms and social spaces for young students to socialise and relax between their studies. Adult learners also make up an important part of the student body as Bedford College, with a range of full-time, work-based and soon part-time courses being available.

“Teachers and assessors are very well qualified and most remain current industry practitioners, which benefits students well. Students make good progress as a result of the high expectations set. In work-based learning, many students make very good progress and demonstrate high standards of work. Students develop useful vocational skills that meet industry standards of work and wider skills such as increased confidence levels.”
