   Im really disappointed in the school, as I travelled nearly an hour with my daughter for her college interview, I have approached the reception and asked to use the toilet before her interview as I am diabetic and cannot hold it in like someone else could. I understand it is a safeguarding issue but I tried to explain about how I am diabetic and was with my daughter, bear in mind they have all my daughter’s information for the interview and still refused to let me in, even with someone to guide me to the bathroom.

   Did Carpentry and English for a year before starting an online college apprenticeship. Carpentry was amazing very much enjoyed it and would go back again to learn a higher level or a different trade. English however, there wasn’t a point, I’ve always struggled with it and just wanted 1 last go to pass it, so few out the year I tried and it didn’t work out I worked with learning support and moved around classes, went from GCSE to functional skills to 1-1 lessons, asked for my exam after trying a few 1-1 lessons they told me my attendance was too low, this was because they kept me enrolled in all 3 classes at the same time so my attendance was forever going down. Was absolutely pointless, they tried to blame me for it and Charlotte or Charlie or someone whoever is the head of English or was at the time wasn’t helpful at all if anything she made it worse And my EHCP wasn’t even handed out until 3/4 of the way thru the year Overall, the actually course was good I enjoyed Carpentry alot and my tutor (Tom) was friendly and helpful but if you’ve failed a needed GCSE like Maths or English and you struggle with it, don’t bother coming they won’t give your exam or respect your EHCP or disabilities. I could write more, but I think I’ve made my point.

   I am surprised by the huge amount of negativity here! The college is only as good for you, as you are willing to learn. Perhaps some people have the problem with their own attitude to life/duties and ability to function in the society? (The best visualisation of the problems was the sign "do not eat or drink inside" on the toilets) Teacher (yes, Pete - I'm talking about you ) was very professional at all times and approachable, with good understanding that we are already working, have kids and some even are looking at elderly relatives with fractured bones! Friendly, honest gentleman with the hair of the R290 copper pipe colour (sorry - I could not stop myself ;) Workshop God: Eric - I know he has shown to us EVERYTHING what the College had best to offer: pipe freezer, pressfit. Some things are not in the plumbing curriculum (e.g. pressing the plastic - so it is hard to epect the impossible). Eric really tried to help us to master complicated offsets and passovers We were given the opportunity to practice and to master virtually everything plumbing related, I have found those activities fascinating and it was a real pleasure to attend the classes! (Where else I could waste so much expensive copper and solder, and I have wasted a mile of that!) Friendly banter, good food at canteen (albeit pricey!) Bad bits - yes, there were very few. Merger with other colleges to create SHCG was a half baked rubbish at best. Out of the blue, somewhere in the 2024 we have lost access to the electronic portfolio. For three weeks we had no badges and anyone could come on the premises and steal such a brilliant minds as my own. Food in canteen is somewhat pricey, but the choice of hot meals was great. Toilets are generally dirty, but if fellow students use it as a dining rooms, conference space and impromptu sparring octagons, then don't expect too much. Classrooms were cold in winter. I have complained about it and got the timely response from the Principal. College has sorted out the issue, so is quite responsive. College offers ZERO follow up courses/pathways. I still need to be empowered by the laws of WRAS, I want to do my G3 ticket, maybe add something related P certification and F-gas. Nothing has been offered, so my money will go elsewhere.. sorry. Overall, on top of my strong technical background and self employment for years, I will remember BPEC Peter Bevis plumbing class @Eastleigh College very warmly. Cheerio!

   The course itself was helpful and added knowledge to a field I wanted some more information on; however luckily I was able to navigate it all by myself as the communication from my tutor was poor. The course is comprised of four units and I had completed and submitted 3 of them (and was one week away from submitting the fourth) before I received any feedback on the previous submissions - and I only received that because I complained. Then after complaining about the lack of communication, and having my work speedily reviewed - I didn't hear another word for 6 months when I was mistakenly emailed about a course I was not even partaking in - and I managed to chase up receiving proof of my qualification through that member of staff. I have now received a digital version of my qualification and will be leaving it at that. I won't be using Eastleigh College as an online study option again.

   I really enjoyed learning at Eastleigh College, I studied L2 & L3 travel and tourism and my tutors were amazing! They always made lessons fun and engaging, and I truly enjoyed listening to their own experiences within the industry. They’re supportive with helping students find jobs and ensuring we are career ready.

   I’ve just left eastleigh college and was there for 3 years. The tutors are completely unprofessional and would comment on the students they didn’t like to other students making it a very uncomfortable, playground like experience. There is a lot of favouritism between tutors and students, making it very unfair for the other students. If you have any mental health issues I highly recommend that you avoid this college at all costs. Mental health isn’t taken seriously and all they care about is whether you have attended your lessons. Now I would say this is just a personal experience but I’ve spoken to at least 5 other people who have also agreed the college is appalling.

   Would not recommend... Staff are incompetent and have not got a clue. For adult learning I would not waste your money or time. No one ever answers the phone... I paid for my course back in April and they decided that 4months later to send me an invoice and accuse me of not paying. Staff need to talk to one another before going ahead and emailing customers.
