“I love this school wonderful teaching”

“Granny Susan always brings her little Cockapoo here. Excellent service!! Karen is such a dear friend, And she’s such a helpful doggie with nanna and her pet. Love this place. 3 stars xx (smelly)”

“Fantastic college. OK facilities, but fantastic staff make up for it.”

“We took our daughter to this Young Driver Experience a few days ago just to experience what it would be like for her to drive a car as she may take proper driving lessons...one day when she's old enough. She was very nervous to begin with (naturally) but after she finished her one hour lesson, she was beaming with smiles which indicated to us that she enjoyed the experience. (Thank God as it wasn't cheap!). For a one hour lesson, the driving instructor covered a lot of activities from introducing the pedal functions, parallel parking, slaloms, turning to runabouts, junctions etc. She was given a Personal Drive Diary booklet where the instructor recorded the activities they've completed. This Diary is to keep so that when she goes to another lesson, the next activities can be recorded here again. At the registration point, we were also given an option if we wanted a recording of her driving from the inside of the car, the price is £12.99 (if I remembered correctly) and they will provide you with an SD card to then give to the instructor at the beginning of the lesson. However, we decided not to purchase this. The car that she drove was a Vauxhall Corsa (manual). The instructor allocated to her was nice and friendly. He gave her a positive feedback at the end of the lesson and recommended nicer venues for taking lessons next time. Unfortunately, the Brent Cross site will no longer be available until the foreseeable future (not sure why) but they advised that the nearest site would be in Uxbridge. We would definitely continue with her driving experience (but perhaps, annually) because we think it would benefit her in the long run. Though it wasn't cheap, we think it would be a good investment.”

“wish i was a full time student, going to college increases my confidence and self esteem, procrastination is a hard think to get out of”

“What a lovely, friendly college. I am excited for my son to start here in September!”

“Great group of lads stayed with us in Northern Ireland Cornmill Quay Accommodition Ltd BT455SB. Staff and pupils are a credit to the school”

“My son has completed the level two Public services course . Ollie and Kim ,the course tutors were fantastic , they were supportive, helpful, and encouraging . They have inspired him so much that he has applyed to join the Royal Marines . Thank you Ollie and Kim Sadly I cannot say the same for the GCSE English and Maths or the special ed department . Decided it was better to pay for a private tutor to help my dyslexic son .”

“I am a fellow pupil at Bilton school and I think the school is great, don't judge my school by the protest as you don't even know the facts!”

“one of the best schools in the area to my knowledge, enjoyed my time there.”

“I was on the BTEC Art and Design course when I studied here, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! If you are interested in pursuing the arts as a career or wish to study a subject involving the creative arts at university, taking this course would be the best choice! We learnt so many transferable skills including how to build an online art portfolio and social media presence, as well as more practical skills such as PhotoShop. As well as this, the college organised many trips to art galleries across the UK and were even taken on a trip to Rome and Florence in 2018 to see an abundance of artworks and architecture (including the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's David!) that greatly inspired our own artwork. The teachers are so approachable and friendly, and most importantly show genuine enthusiasm and interest in your artwork and encourage creative freedom, which had a huge positive impact on my confidence in creating art. After completing this course I received an unconditional offer from the University of York to study History of Art BA(Hons). I'm now in my third year and have been given many opportunities over the years such as displaying my own art in campus galleries, organising art workshops for students and the public, and have made connections with curators, art galleries and professors from top arts universities! Overall would highly recommend this course! (and college!)”

“Great FE and HE centre. Very very well qualified staff to take you through your chosen career path. Best education results in Westmidlands. Third best training facilities in UK”

“Hi! I really decided to share a review when I saw many negative reviews. For some reason they are mostly on Google Maps, and when I first applied, I was disappointed a bit, but it seems everything is fine. I am a distant graphic design learner; I do not know about other subjects, so I am reviewing it as someone who completed the first year. So if we're talking about downsides—for me as an Eastern European, the price is a little bit high, but it's manageable. The online platform also could be improved; I will say refreshed. It feels outdated, but overall it is working. I always thought that learning is more about diving into the topic deeper and asking for help if needed. I can't say I am a good student, as I am working full-time as a motion designer, and I usually regret this because I wanted to spend more time on some topics. But the university provides lecture support, feedback, and 1-to-1 meetings. It's all possible by contacting your lecturer. Don't think that you will be treated like in kindergarten here, especially with distance learning. The university provides a lot of good literature in digital form (I wish I would have time to read it as much as I want). Each lesson is supported with literature. In design studies there is so much practical work each week; if you do it, you totally will understand the topic. Again, this isn't Harvard, but they provide a structured program that keeps you motivated to manage your time and deadlines, and you will probably have skills to work on some freelance tasks after a few modules.”

“Although I don’t go here anymore, I must say it has bullies but if you have good friends it can be a great place.The education is actually really good, (better than TNA’s) The teachers are strict but it’s only because some students are a bit rude but some do just want the best for you & your future. Everybody thinks Mr Nealon is a nonce. The P.E is good, because you get to do good subjects of pe especially if you’re the girls P.E group. In TNA you mainly just do football and netball. In Hartshill we did Rugby,football,netball,badminton and volleyball.”
