The Education Committee was setup at the first Board of Governors' meeting on 20 January 1948 to look after matters relating to the staffing and curriculum of the College. It was also responsible for establishing and developing research. It worked in close relationship with the three participating industries and was advised by the Education Board of the Heating and Ventilating Industry (see NC/7), the Education Committee of the Institute of Refrigeration and the Education Committee of the Fan Manufacturers' Association.

It consisted of 12 ordinary members with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Governing Body both as ex-officio members. John W. Cooling, future Chair of the Board of Governors, was elected as Chairman at the Committee's first meeting of 13 February 1948. The last meeting was held on 3 October 1969.

Thorpe Coombe Hospital is a psychiatric unit and former maternity hospital in Walthamstow, north-east London, and part of North East London NHS Mental Health Trust. The hospital was opened as a maternity hospital in 1934, making use of part of a mansion which had been owned by Octavius Wigram. It ceased maternity facilities in 1973 and was subsequently used as a nurses' home, then a treatment centre for Alzheimer's disease patients, and latterly an out-patients and inpatient service psychiatric hospital.

The Middlesex Hospital was a teaching hospital located in the Fitzrovia area of London. First opened in 1745 on Windmill Street, it was moved in 1757 to Mortimer Street where it remained until it was finally closed in 2005. Its staff and services were transferred to various sites within the University College London Hospitals NHS Trust. The Middlesex Hospital Medical School, with a history dating back to 1746, merged with the medical school of University College London in 1987.

Hackney Hospital started life in 1750 as an infirmary within the workhouse on Homerton High Street. By the 1860s the infirmary was entirely separate from the main workhouse building. This allowed the infirmary to expand to 606 beds with a nursing staff of 45. By the 1930s the Hackney Institution, as the infirmary had become known, was taken over by the London County Council. In 1948, the Hospital became part of the National Health Service and the local Hackney Group of hospitals. In 1987 a new hospital was opened in the area, the Homerton, and general services transferred there. Eventually, only psychiatric and geriatric services remained, but in 1995 these were also transferred to the Homerton and the Hackney Hospital closed.

South London Polytechnic Institutes Council was established following the City of London Parochial Charities Act, 1883. In the Act the government's Charity Commissioners were to distribute money to schemes which would improve the physical, social and moral condition of Londoners. Edric Bayley, a solicitor and member of the London School Board, wanted to use the money to establish a people's college in Elephant & Castle, which could help alleviate the extreme poverty he saw in that area as well as help strengthen British industry.

In 1887 Bayley established the South London Polytechnic Institutes Council, whose members included the Lord Mayor of London and the Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VII) as its President. In January 1888 the Council appealed to the Charity Commissioners for the money they needed. The Commissioners were impressed and pledged that they would match any funds raised by the public up to the sum of £150,000 in order to establish three technical colleges, or polytechnics, in South London.

A Committee of the Council had the task of raising the money needed from the public and also of deciding where the three polytechnics should be located. The Committee decided that one should be established at Elephant and Castle (now London South Bank University), another at New Cross (which is now Goldsmiths College) and lastly at Battersea (which eventually moved and became part of the University of Surrey). The public appeal for the money needed was launched at a widely publicised dinner held at Mansion House in June 1888. Within four years £78,000 had been raised through the public's generosity for the Elephant & Castle and Battersea Polytechnics, which was matched by the Charity Commissioners.

The College was a branch of South West London College.

University technical colleges (UTCs) are government-funded schools that offer 14-19 year olds technical and scientific subjects in a different way to traditional education. UTCs focus on one of two technical specialisms and operate a longer school day to more closely align with a business working day. Governance is by employers and a local university, who help to develop and deliver the curriculum. UTCs are smaller than traditional secondary schools. They are not academically selective and charge no fees. UTCs typically have 600 students, are sub regional and have a catchment area that may extend across a number of local authorities.

The South Bank UTC specialises in engineering for building and health sectors. Other partners are Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, PURICO and SKANSKA. The College opened in September 2016 on Brixton Hill.
