In February 2025 Arden College was awarded The Quality in Careers Standard. It provides national validation for careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG). The Quality in Careers Standard is mapped against the Gatsby Benchmarks of Good Careers Guidance and the Career Development Institute (CDI) Framework for Careers, Employability and Enterprise Education.
All the staff at Arden College are incredibly proud of achieving this award. It recognises our commitment to raising the aspirations of all students and the work we have put in to ensuring that our students have access to the best CEIAG we can provide. Students have access to clear impartial careers advice and we have developed an engaging and challenging curriculum that looks to provide up-to-date information about local careers, training and apprenticeships. Students are encouraged to aim high and consider a variety of future options.
