Student support services in Manchester

“Great tuition centre, my sister was a student here and she received excellent GCSE grades. Would highly recommend.”

“Straightforward process at the Manchester centre and was in and out in 30 mins, let me explain the visa journey for those visiting or applying for the first time. You book your flight tickets and accommodation before applying for your visa, they need to know your travel details in advance to grant you a visa. You apply online which is the tricky part, you need to have information regarding your trip, passport, work history and family history. Once the online application is accepted (usually 24-48 hours). You then have to visit the centre in either Manchester or London (no appointment needed) with the confirmation print out of visa application complete, you hand over your passport and finger prints are taken as part of the application. You then have to wait another 2-3 days for visa to be ready. You can collect or have it posted out to you. I would strongly advise to apply 2-3 weeks before you travel, to allow for any complications. If you've visited Turkey in the last 12 months this may delay the outcome of your visa. Please factor this in or research online beforehand.”

“Well-structured 1 year accelerated GCSEs programme. Small classes enhance learning experience”

“My name is Ahlam, I am 19 years old, and my student number is 1485206. I’m really proud to be in my second year at The Manchester College, Shena Simon Campus. I’m really enjoying my time here.The teachers and staff are so supportive and helpful. I’ve learned a lot and feel more confident every day. It’s a great place to study! Last year, I completed the ESOL (16-18) Entry 3 course with the teacher Mark Gourlay , which helped me build my English skills and confidence. This year, I’m studying Functional Skills English and Maths with the adult group, and I’m really enjoying it. The teachers here are fantastic — my Maths teacher, Maryama Gholami, and my English teacher, Nuzhat Siddique, and my IT Teacher Asif Saleh are all very supportive, kind, and always explain everything clearly. They always take the time to help every student and make sure we all understand the lesson. The staff are else very helpful and friendly. Whenever I need help or have a question, there is always someone there to support me. The college offers so many great facilities, and the learning environment is very comfortable and welcoming. I’ve learned so much since I joined, not just in English and Maths, but also about communication, teamwork, and confidence. I feel really happy and safe here, and I enjoy coming to college every day. The Manchester College has given me a great experience, and I’m very thankful to be part of it. I would definitely recommend this college to anyone who wants to improve their skills and achieve their goals.”

“They are good in communication & solve my problem within a few days. highly recommend!”

“My son attends this school and Insh'Allah so will my daughter. I think the staff and facilities are very good. This is still a very young school and I feel that it is continually getting better. My son used to attend a long established grammar school and I feel they are very comparable, however, here my son learns about Islamic values.”

“Great club, great sensei, friendly atmosphere. Brilliant place to learn with loads of sessions and competitions.”

“Our kids love coming to nursery, they have fun activities planned for each day, they’re always learning through play and have built up great relationships with the staff!”

“Been a client for 10 years. Friendly staff. Kept me updated at all times. Special thanks to Asif for always thinking outside the box. Always amazes me how you know the technicalities and can help even with almost impossible cases successfully. Thanks very much.”

“I had a great experience with Anam during my Belgium visa process. She was very kind, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout. Anam explained everything clearly and patiently, which made the whole process stress-free and easy to understand. She was always supportive and approachable, and I truly felt guided at every step. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Thank you UACB, for making it possible to get into university, even without leaving my full-time job. It's a dream come true. Thank you all for the calls messages and follow-up. Moyosore Ogunmayin.”

“Clear. Concise. Helpful Financial Advise.”

“This is the best drama school in Manchester, please don't be under any illusions and think it is easy you have to pass not 1 but 2 auditions and Mark Hudson knows he's stuff. If you want to take up acting then try this school don't act be yourself, and good luck”

“I been here 3 times and I don't understand the bad reviews. The guy that works there it's doing his job, he is respectful and polite, the computers aren't last generation nor the most expensive but they work perfectly fine. If you come here to pass the exam shouldn't be a big problem the vigilator nor the outdated computers, we are here to test or knowledge and if you know you know, and will pass regardless”

“I had a great experience at the Manchester Consulate. The staff, including the manager, were very friendly and helpful. They were neither bossy nor rude and efficiently handled four NICOP applications within an hour. There is plenty of parking available on Conyngham Road, with three hours free, as well as a few spaces near the consulate on Dickenson Road (though I’m not sure about the parking timings there). At the time of writing this review, next-day bookings at the Manchester Consulate are offered at 7:00 PM every evening, Sunday through Thursday. I found plenty of available slots when I made my booking. There weren’t many people at the consulate on our appointment day, possibly because it was a Friday. I did notice a couple of people without appointments being served, but you need to have a thick skin in those situations, as the staff can be quite strict or blunt. Overall, I found the entire team pleasant and willing to help.”

“Loved working there, it makes me sad to see how many individuals has such a hard time there. Some brilliant and inspiring staff with students best interests at heart. I think about many of the individuals I worked with there everyday. Particularly some wonderful students and the hard working science department!”

“Manchester the best place to be”

“This is a very busy office currently due to the suspension of the eVisa. Consequently they were running late on appointments but the two people dealing with applications were friendly, polite and and still managing to smile. Thank you.”
