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. [cite web
