Activate Learning

Activate Learning is a forward-thinking education group that aims for far-reaching, progressive change and impact through learning. They work with students as individuals, helping them make the choice of career pathway or course that’s right for them and their ambitions.

Activate Learning recognises every student has a different story; people come to college having had different experiences. They want to capitalise on these and help them grow by building effective relationships, as how you feel about learning is just as important as what you learn.

They combine expertise in delivering technical, vocational and academic education, with a high level of industry engagement and connections to some of the best-known companies — not just in the region, but in the world — to provide learners with a complete educational experience where they feel supported and confident in their abilities and inspired by the opportunities available to them. Through doing so, Activate Learning provides work-ready talent for business, and transform lives through their Learning Philosophy.

Activate Learning has two colleges in Oxfordshire, including Banbury and Bicester College and City of Oxford College and University Centre, offering a variety of education and training opportunities for the local community ranging from entry level, full-time academic and vocational study programmes, apprenticeships, leisure courses and university-level qualifications.
