Transnational Education (TNE)
At Brockenhurst College, we have been involved in international education work since 2004, and are the only UK FE College to be designated by the Chinese government’s Hanban Institute (汉办) with Confucius Classroom (孔子课堂) status.
Our TNE provision is designed to develop partnerships and projects with international institutions to help improve teaching and learning in-country as well as deliver British curriculums in-country.
The College has worked in the Transnational Education (TNE) market since 2005, delivering several different education programmes successfully in the UK and overseas.
Programme information
With our experience and expertise, we offer in-country delivery for A Levels and Vocational courses.
In addition, we are able to offer the following programmes:
- Bespoke online EFL (English as Foreign Language) and A Level courses.
- Bespoke Professional Teacher Training programmes.
- Bespoke Leadership and Management Training programmes.
- Support and Training on Internal Quality Assurance Systems.

Course structure & teaching
The course structure and teaching methods vary depending on the programme. Some of our TNE programmes are delivered entirely online (e.g. EFL), while others can be long-term in-country delivery projects (e.g. A-Level/Vocational courses).
Alternatively, courses can be short-term in-country workshops (e.g. Continuous Professional Development) or involve a combination of online delivery and periodic visits by teachers to overseas organisations to provide supplementary teaching and staff development training.
We understand that the needs and demands of students and parents are changing. As a result, we can be flexible and are willing to adopt new cooperation models with our TNE partners.
Why choose Brock for TNE?
We are committed to helping our overseas partner educational organisations to provide support to their students and staff by actively improving their current education and qualification system as well as sharing teaching resources and exchanging innovative teaching ideas.
We are highly committed and have delivered a range of TNE programmes with great success. These include leadership and management shadowing projects, teacher training, EFL and A Level in-country delivery as well as online delivery programmes, quality assurance projects, UK apprenticeship system workshops.
We have successfully worked with many international educational organisations and training providers, please contact us to find out how we can work with you.
