About Us
ACER (Association of Colleges in the Eastern Region) was formed in 1993 by further education colleges in the eastern region. Embracing six counties, we are proud to provide a central source of support, development and representation to our member colleges.
Our members are:
- All 33 further education and sixth form colleges in the eastern region
- Associate members from colleges outside the region
- Admitted members from other charitable organisations
ACER's representational role on key committees and steering groups ensures that the views and concerns of the sector are heard at regional and national level, creating an information cycle to inform, influence and share. ACER has a strong commitment to partnership working and works with and for learning and skills professionals. In particular we work in partnership to bid for and deliver regional and national projects which are of value to the learning and skills agenda and meet regional and national priorities. Consultancy work with national projects keeps ACER staff and members involved in current issues and prepared for future change and development.
ACER has managed a series of very successful projects concerned with building the capacity and capability of the region's Skills for Life teaching and support workforce through professional development programmes. We have just completed a substantial and very important project aimed at entry level literacy, numeracy and ESOL learners in workplace and currently manage the LSIS Support for LLN programme in the East of England.
