Welcome

Redbridge Institute is a great place to learn. Everyone is sure
of a warm welcome and will benefit from our experienced,
knowledgeable and professional staff. Our learners receive
excellent support and progress onto further study or work.

Every year over 5,000 learners successfully complete courses either
at our well-equipped centres in Gants Hill and Ilford or one of the
many local centres provided by our community partners.

We have a wide range of part time work related courses in many
employment sectors as well as enterprise skills and start your own
business courses. We have increased the number of courses focused
on helping you into work and improving your promotion prospects.
Many of these courses are free for those actively seeking work and
there is additional support through our job clubs and advisers to
help you find work. We offer the national Traineeship programme for
16–24 year olds who are looking for work but don’t have five good
GCSEs or equivalent. If you are looking to study at a higher level,
you can apply for a 24+ Advanced Learning Loan to cover the cost
of your studies for our eligible Level 3 courses.

We want to ensure that you find the right course and our Customer
