The college was originally based in the Surrey village of Warlingham and moved to its present location in South Croydon in 1967.
In 1973 the college became a charitable trust, it is consequently registered with the Charity Commission.
The trust has three main aims:
- To promote high academic standards.

- To create an adult focused environment to prepare students for higher education
To date the college has had four Principals: Roger Osborne, David Wilson, (now Senior Advisor for International Relations) David Lowe and Mario Di Clemente.
