Herefordshire College of Technology (HCT) is a college of Further Education (FE) in Hereford, Herefordshire, England.

The National School of Blacksmithing is part of the college.

Following a glowing Ofsted report in 2006 the college was due to spend up to £30M on redeveloping itself as a "Learning Village" in conjunction with Hereford Sixth Form College and Hereford College of Arts.[1]

In 2007 the college merged with Holme Lacy college situated 5 miles outside of the city. Holme Lacy campus is dedicated to agriculture and horticulture, with it's own working farm. Before 2007, the campus was part of the Pershore Group of colleges based in Worcestershire.[2]

In November the college suffered an arson attack.[3]
