“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. The MOL division specialises in delivering professional development training programmes by flexible learning. MOL has existed for more than 30 years providing HR, management, estate agency, construction and electrical engineering courses.

The Manchester College delivers learning and skills services to offenders in 42 secure establishments throughout England and in two probation areas. The services are contracted in both the private and public sectors to all categories of offender.”

“Went to see 'Merrily We Roll Along' musical performance. It was amazing. The venue is relatively new and well presented. The staff were even more impressive. Great venue. Will visit again.”

“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.”

“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”

“This is an amazing dance school it has given our daughter so much confidence. She loves going every week to see her dance family , we have loved seeing her progress over the last few years, it is such a welcoming and friendly dance school”

“My 6-year-old daughter took part in a 4-day holiday club at Little Voices this summer. Despite it being her first time there and not knowing any of the other children beforehand, she came running out on the first day with a big smile, excitedly sharing stories about her "new friends!" At the end of the week, parents were invited to watch the children's performance, and it was truly remarkable! Every child had a chance to shine in their own unique way, which was delightful to watch. Little Voices is such a nurturing environment and there was absolutely no pressure on the children over the 4 days, as some might worry about; the focus was on having fun—and my daughter certainly did that! We will be back, for sure. Thank you, Laura...you are amazing!”

“I'd highly recommend eating at the Clink, the food was great and it was for a good cause. We would visit again if we're in the area. Perfect if you're visiting Quarry Bank. We had a lovely Sunday dinner here, with the lovely veg and roasties. The charred mackeral starter was marvellous, as was the panna cotta. The staff were pleasant, with great service and reasonable prices. Good toilet facilties, including disabled loo. Access ramp in place for wheeled entry, terrain mostly flat with parking located near the entrance”

“Thankyou Ed! Fixed a bag for me the same day, attention to detail is exceptional, great price too! Lovely guy - would 100% recommend.”

“I recently purchased a property with my wife as first time buyers and were recommended the services of JP Goldman. Although they were slightly more pricier than some of their competitors, I believe you get what you pay for. I had a very positive experience with JP Goldman who were proactive in responding to any of my queries, and were very professional in all of my dealings with them. They have streamlined the process to be as easy as possible - with software integrated with the major banks so a simple link to the bank account was possible instead of having to manually provide bank statements. Jake was helpful in the beginning of the process in laying out exactly what would be required from our side and at what point, and explaining the expected timeline of events that would follow. Later on, Gabby took over the sale in its final stages and was extremely helpful in addressing any queries I had and trying to push along the sale with the seller's solicitor and ensuring everything was in place for the completion date. We did have some issues with the property after completion date, and Gabby was great in helping us address these with the sellers' solicitor immediately, and we managed to resolve these very quickly and without hassle due to Gabby's help. Overall I was very happy with my experience with JP Goldman, hence why I wanted to show my appreciation through a very positive review. I would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or sell a property in the Trafford area, and I will definitely use them again in the future should I require these services.”

“A lovely little church hall with great facilities. Does lots of good work for their community. Accessible with helpful staff.”

“I recently completed a one-year stay at Broadside, and I am beyond impressed with the incredible team that made my experience memorable. From the friendly leasing office staff to the efficient maintenance team, every interaction was positive and professional. The entire concierge team, of Monika, Precious, Jon and I'm forgetting the name of the other bloke (sorry), were also part reason why I extended by contract by 6 more months. They were just amazing at their work and exceptionally good with people. The management team of Jenna and Zvi were quite professional and helpful in every manner. The amenities, social events, convenience, and location in the city were top-notch, and the overall atmosphere made Broadside feel like home. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay truly amazing. I highly recommend Broadside to anyone looking for a fantastic place to live!”

“As a Muslim student I studied here 1999-2001 (A levels) and had an excellent time here socially and made it into Manchester University which was hard to get into. The staff were supportive and the free time for doing private study was beneficial. The college was large (at that time around 1000 students) and I made many new friends whom I still had contact with after leaving the college. The RE lessons and tutorials were also interesting and was very welcoming. I would highly recommend the college if you are willing to study hard outside of lesson time. Although the college results were similar to the national average at the time it is not due to poor teaching. The college is situated in a good location and there are plenty of activities to participate in. I have many pleasant memories.”

“Good and friendly study environment”
