Welcome to Heart of Worcestershire College your next step towards a successful career

From courses for school leavers to affordable higher education and professional qualifications, we pride ourselves in delivering job related qualifications in high quality environments to enable our students to achieve a positive and bright future.
Equality, Diversity & Inclusivity
Here at HoW College, equality, diversity and inclusivity (EDI) is of utmost importance to us. We want everyone to feel welcome, included and accepted within our College community, and we strive continuously towards this in various ways.
One of the most important ways of improving EDI within our community is through continual education. Taking the time to learn about different walks of life, perspectives and current injustices, is at the centre of making real progression towards creating an environment – and world – that is accepting of all individuals.
As a result, we’ve taken the time to create information pages on various topics to encourage further education for all. Within these topics, you will find learning resources, helpful tips and support.
We hope such pages will encourage all to take the time to learn something new and establish ways in which we can all make lasting and meaningful change towards a more equal, diverse and inclusive society.
