We strive for recognition for the important role colleges play in the wider skills agenda, and to do our part to inform and challenge, ensuring that learners and stakeholders experience first class opportunities.

The Association of Colleges … Representing and promoting the FE sector
The Association of Colleges (AoC) exists to represent and promote the interests of colleges and to raise awareness of the FE sector. As such, the AoC aims to be the authoritative voice of colleges – based on credible analysis, research, advocacy and consultation with colleges.

The AoC was established in 1996 as a voice for further education and higher education delivered in colleges at national and regional level. Membership includes general and tertiary further education colleges, sixth form colleges and specialist colleges in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The AoC works collaboratively with college staff, governors and students, along with government agencies to inform and shape policies and activities for the sector.
