EKC Canterbury College offers a wide range of state-of-the-art facilities for students to enhance their learning experience.
All our facilities are available for staff and students to access during their time with us.
Spring Lane Campus
Our Spring Lane Campus is home to our dedicated animal, land-based, and horticulture facilities, and more than 200 species. This newly refurbished site is set over 2 hectares with a wide range of facilities including a glass house, polytunnels, orchards and wildlife areas and ponds.
Our Junior College is also based on this beautiful site, offering an exciting alternative hands-on curriculum for those aged 14-16.
The Gas Centre
Canterbury College’s Gas Centre offers an extensive range of BPEC ACS training, assessment and domestic gas courses.
Our new BPEC ACS Gas Training Centre, part of our new £50m College redevelopment, is fully equipped to provide quality gas training and renewable energy training to professionals in Kent and the South East.
It is a legal requirement that an individual operative is Gas Safe Registered (either individually or through a company) and holds valid and relevant ACS Gas training qualifications that are renewable every five years.
Re-assessment is required every 5 years for ACS certification and re-assessment must take place within 12 months.
