Domestic fees
Not only do our students enjoy a higher success rate but the cost of completing a vocational course is significantly less than a university degree.
Unlike an undergraduate degree that requires a 4+ year commitment, our certificate and diploma courses can be completed in as little as 6 to 12 months.
Due to being significantly shorter than a university degree, there are noticeable economic benefits when you complete a vocational course at Bedford.
In line with our vision to provide accessible and equitable education in a caring learning environment, our hope is to not burden you with the cost of quality training leading to potential employment outcomes.
Due to our high graduate success rate, many of our students receive employment offers upon graduation. With high employment prospects in a range of sectors, your investment into studying a nationally recognised qualification can potentially be recovered in your first year of full-time employment.
