The Association of Colleges (AoC) is a not-for-profit membership organisation set up in 1996 by colleges to act as their collective voice. They exist to represent and promote the interests of colleges and provide members with professional support services.
Membership is made up of 308 further education, sixth form, tertiary and specialist colleges across the UK – 95% of the sector.
The AoC represent colleges nationally and influence Government and its agencies on policies affecting the sector and their students and staff at national and regional levels.
Callmy launched its mass notification, response and location service to the sector, at this years AoC conference and exhibition. Tony Watson, Callmy’s CEO and Founder, commented, “the decision to launch Callmy to the FE sector builds on the work we have undertaken with Higher Education. Both have similar challenges and the need for effective means of communication during emergencies and business continuity events. We were delighted with the initial response and now look forward to working with the AoC and colleges throughout the UK”.
