Herefordshire College is a college of further education (FE) based in Hereford, Herefordshire, and with a separate sixth form college campus in Ludlow, Shropshire.

The majority of students, mainly adults, follow courses in health, public services and care, preparation for life and work, and business administration. Of around 8,000 full-time and part-time students, approximately 1,150 of learners are aged 16 to 18. The college has recently had a £32M new campus development.

In 2007 the college merged with

Warwickshire College.[1][3]

The college is funded by the Learning and Skills Council, the Government Office for the West Midlands, Advantage West Midlands, and Herefordshire Council for their support and development funding.[4] A July 2006 Ofsted report assessed the overall effectiveness of the school with a Grade 2 (good).[1]

Ludlow College now also forms part of the college, though retains its identity and campus in the heart of the market town of Ludlow, Shropshire.

In November 2018, the college group merged once again with North Shropshire College to form Herefordshire, Ludlow & North Shropshire College. Each campus retains its individual branding and identity.
