I am delighted to welcome you to the Barking & Dagenham College (BDC) website – I hope you find all the information you are looking for.

In this section, we introduce you to BDC and invite you to explore  ‘behind the scenes’ . You can find out about how we are working with schools locally, get in touch with our schools liaison programme and arrange for us to attend an event you are holding.

If you are interested in working at the College, you can see our current list of vacancies and apply online.

We have over 1,700 courses available across a wide range of subjects and levels. So whether you are joining us from school, or returning to learning after a break we can help.

As well as a diverse course offering, you’ll also enjoy top quality teaching in state-of-the-art facilities, underpinned by all the support and guidance you need to create fresh opportunities for your future and succeed in your studies.

Learners from far and wide, as well as our local community choose Barking & Dagenham College. You can take a virtual tour online here and look around our facilities from your computer, but nothing beats meeting us in person, so why not call us on  020 8090 3020  or visit our Learner Help Centre to find out how to turn your aspirations into a reality.

Good governance is very important to the College and you will find our policies and charters online. It is also vital to us that our learners are safe and secure.

We’re here for you all year round of course, but to check on our Open Days, term dates and other important events, you should take a look at the College Calendar.

Barking & Dagenham College is your route to success, so do come and join us.

We look forward to welcoming you.
