Welcome to Activate Alumni!

Our students are at the heart of everything we do. Activate Alumni aims to celebrate and recognise the achievements of our students beyond their time at college.

Our alumni community is all about building lasting connections, providing lifelong learning opportunities, and giving back to our former students and apprentices.

What is Activate Learning?

We recognise not all our former students and apprentices are familiar with Activate Learning. We’re an Ofsted rated GOOD education group which has grown over the past 10 years to include eight campuses across Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Surrey, including an award-winning online provision. We deliver Further Education and Higher Education programmes, Apprenticeships, Adult Education and employability training. 

If you were a student or apprentice at Banbury and Bicester College, Bracknell and Wokingham College, City of Oxford College, Farnham College, Guildford College, Merrist Wood College, Reading College or if you have studied online with us, that makes you part of Activate Alumni! 

Some of our colleges have been part of our local communities for over 70 years. Whether you completed your course or apprenticeship with us one year ago or 70 years ago, we want to hear from you!
