Hampton College was established in 1985 when the founders realised that there was a major shortage of trained staff in commerce and industry. Many employees who had the theoretical background, lacked the practical skills-knowledge required to perform tasks well. Hampton was established with the intention of providing education and training which gave a balance between theory and practical knowledge.

The methodology adopted for this kind of training is one of theory, activity and application, where students are encouraged to become decision makers and critical thinkers and the emphasis is on good communication and numeracy skills. Hampton offers training from the foundation levels of literacy and numeracy through to University degrees.
