Basingstoke College of Technology is holding an on-site open event on April 27, 2026, for residents in Basingstoke, Hampshire, to learn about future study and training options. The session starts at 16:30 and is open to anyone considering full-time courses, apprenticeships, or higher education for the upcoming year.

Attendees will be able to tour the campus facilities, including the specialised STEM building along with the North and South sites. Staff will be available throughout the event to discuss different subjects and provide practical advice on how to complete the application process.

The college was recently named a national Digital Insight Hub in February 2026, which highlights its use of modern technology in teaching. This recognition comes as the college also celebrates more than 75 years of providing education and heritage to the local community.

The upcoming event follows the retirement announcement of Principal Anthony Bravo OBE, who led the institution for 16 years. Despite this change in leadership, the college remains focused on helping school leavers and adults find the right path for their next steps in study or work.
