[edit] History

The College was created by the Parliament of Bermuda through the passage of the Bermuda College Act in 1974 with the amalgamation of three flourishing institutions: the Bermuda Technical Institute established in 1956, the Bermuda Hotel and Catering College (1965), and the Academic Sixth Form Centre (1967).

Dr. Duranda Greene became the College’s first female and the youngest president to head the two-year community college. She took over from Dr. Charles Green in the summer of 2007.
