We endeavour to ensure that all students aged 16-19 years old studying on a full-time further education course can access the College from across our catchment region.
Students can take advantage of the special ticket prices (subsidised by various transport providers and the College). The majority of students use the Stagecoach scheme, as this is the main operator for this area.
Farnborough has excellent bus and train services, with 3 train stations within walking distance of the College. Students are able to travel in easily from a wide geographic area. If you live in the Whitehill and Bordon areas students can take advantage of a direct bus service to the College that takes approximately 40 minutes, to both Aldershot and Farnborough sites.
