Bedford’s Christian Heritage

Bedford College was launched in 1944 by the Baptist Churches in NSW to meet Australia’s great emerging social needs due to the devastation of families during World War II. Women needed essential job skills to join the rapidly changing workforce so they could provide for their families. With a benevolent heart, the Baptist movement donated all the funds necessary to start this initiative to support women to find independence, employment, and success.

80 years later, Bedford College maintains this strong desire to help equip all people to access great opportunities by learning the skills necessary to find secure employment. The directors believe employment provides an essential pathway to growing, maturing and thriving in life.

The board of directors is unashamed of this Christian heritage. It means the College strives to treat everyone with kindness, respect, fairness and honour as a reflection of a belief in a generous God.

We’d Love to Meet You

We hope you decide to undertake your training with us. Please visit us at anytime, meet our friendly staff and see what we have to offer you as a future student.
