It is my great privilege to welcome you to MidKent College. Choosing where to study after school, or if you are returning to education as an individual or employee, will always be a significant milestone. This is something we understand really well and I am delighted that you are considering joining our vibrant com
munity at either our Maidstone or Medway campuses.
As someone who began my own career as an apprentice chef, I know firsthand how a college education and experience can be a life-changing springboard into a global career. At MidKent College, we are dedicated to ensuring every student has access to those same transformative opportunities.
To our prospective students:
We are a "student-centred" college, meaning every decision we make is focused on how it benefits you. You will learn in simulated work environments - from mock hospital wards and podcast suites to professional design studios - using the same equipment found in the industry. My goal is that you leave us not just with a qualification, but with the confidence and skills to thrive in a changing world.
To parents and carers:
We understand that the transition from school to college can be daunting. We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive environment where your son or daughter is supported by dedicated teams at every step, from financial advice to academic development. We value our partnership with you and welcome your involvement in the application and interview process.
I look forward to meeting you at our 2026 events and seeing you around our campuses soon.
Simon Cook
Principal and Chief Executive Officer
