Students experience in Manchester

“Lively, friendly classes. I started as a complete beginner to learn how to act and build confidence. I've learned so much since I joined last year, through a variety of activities as well as great constructive feedback and my confidence has grown hugely. Definitely worth it.”

“The Manchester College is the largest further education college in the United Kingdom. It is the largest provider of 16–19 and adult education in Greater Manchester. The origins of the college go back to the early 19th century St. John's Sunday school, a pioneering school for workers. By the 1950s this had evolved into St John's and Openshaw Technical College. Later mergers created the Central College Manchester which became The Manchester College of Arts and Technology in Manchester, while institutions in Central Manchester, Fielden Park, Arden and Wythenshawe merged to form City College Manchester. In 2008 these two combined to form The Manchester College. The Manchester College offers courses for school leavers, adults, higher education students, employers and international students. The Manchester College is based at many sites in the city: these include Moston, Abraham Moss Community School, One Central Park, Manchester Enterprise Academy, the sixth form of St Matthew's RC High School and Harpurhey in the North; Openshaw, Preston Street, Welcomb Street, Nicholls Campus in Ardwick[9] and the Manchester School of Building in the East; Fielden Park (Didsbury), Northenden, Wythenshawe Forum and Brownley Green Wythenshawe in the South; locations in the city centre include St John's in Castlefield, Lever Street, and Shena Simon Campus in Chorlton Street in Manchester city centre. As well as this, the college are due to build a new site on the old Boddingtons' site - opposite the Manchester Arena.

They have an excellent team of teachers that bend over backwards to help anyone and everyone, with assignments, original songs, composing music and more.They have a fully equipped studio, recording pods, rehearsal rooms, a stage and a wide range of high tech equipment in which the teachers help progress our knowledge on. They do not just help you with assignments they also have lessons teaching you how to teach you how to get started in the industry and most importantly excel in it.”

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

“I cannot recommend Stagecoach enough - we had a wonderful experience during the summer holidays where we joined the workshop for Revolting Children from Matilda. I was put at ease straight away when Ceri welcomed us and reassured me the children will have fun and will be well looked after, having never left my children anywhere I was anxious. Once I picked them up my mind was put at rest immediately and our boys wanted to go back the following day and go earlier. The work all of the children produced was to a very high standard and this was all rehearsed in less than a week. Stagecoach workshop had such a positive huge impact on both of my sons to the point where we have now joined up for their next term, we are literally on countdown for when the term starts. We cannot wait for the next production, which will be the Christmas show! Thank you Stagecoach Team ☺️”

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.”
