[a Consult which mainly seeks to: render professional services to educational institutions, empower women and youth bring out the ‘leader’ in them by training them through capacity building, skill acquisition, entrepreneurship programs, and discipleship (to take the message of the Gospel of Christ to all nations of the World].

Founded by ten zealous persons with like passion for  the mission at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana, it started operations on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 and on May 26, 2009 was duly incorporated under the Laws of Ghana as an educational consultancy, in Accra.

​

  • ​Youth Development & Education

  • Women Empowerment & Education

  • Innovation & Leadership Education

  • Capacity Building & Skills Education

​

At Barfordshire “you're not just a graduate, and not only a professional; you Envision, Innovate and Lead”. This is simply because most Academic Institutions are unable to make the required significant imprint on the minds of those they graduate each year, to develop, analyse and think creatively, and this has in turn left a miserable impact in the life of today’s graduates, as they are mostly unable to apply their acquired knowledge and mostly unfit for industry. 

At Barfordshire, we produce 'well rounded-world leading' Entrepreneurs & Professional Students who see beyond their acquired knowledge, unlike their peers, and are dynamic in the character of their thinking to engage creatively in rendering solutions.

We mold our students to be 'SIMPLY DYNAMIC' - we develop them to see Opportunities in Every Problem, Think Critically and Quickly, Understand Complex Issues Easily and Develop Creativity into their Problem Solving Abilities.

​

We mold you to Envision, Innovate and Lead! Be sure to Enroll with us for a transformed, dynamic and successful future/career.
