At Regent Training Centre / RTC, we believe that well people achieve well. Therefore create safe environments where we can focus upon whole person wellbeing, because when we have wellbeing anything is possible, learning becomes easy. We are dedicated to unlocking the full potential of learners through care and education that optimises their individual skills and abilities, and that enables them progress to higher learning or to enter the workforce with the confidence, integrity and character needed to excel. Our Tutors adapt their teaching to each students needs, not the other way around.
