To ensure our learners get access to the very best while at college, EDC has invested heavily in the development of our next-generation T Level facilities.
The college has redeveloped several areas across our three campuses, to provide the very best facilities and resources for students on our T Level programmes.
It's all about being the next generation college, ready for the next generation of amazing students coming through our doors!

T Level in Education & Childcare - Childcare Lecture Theatre & Nursery Observation Room
If you're coming to study childcare at EDC, you'll also get to use our childcare lecture theatre!
This space operates just like you'd expect a lecture theatre, with raised seating complete with individual tables so you can jot down important stuff in your notepad!
The lecture theatre space also includes a nursery observation room, directly connected to our on-site nursery, Positive Steps. This space allows those studying childcare to observe interactions with the children in the nursery, learning to care for them in a more effective manner.
Finally, this space also includes its own kitchen.
