Calderdale College

This collage is amazing for qualification and if you focus you can achieve a lot. Good memories and a good place to build your network with outside agencies, student, and tutors who I still talk to now. I did IT Level one, two, three and now doing a degree level four. They had project work which helped with real life skills. Amazing experience felt like I was in a journey of The apprentice. It was fun, it was different and it helped in the real working environment. Learning the agile way. Now in my degree level, let me tell you stay well away from the apprenticeship side. What a mistake I made, to the way it was marketed to the end experience. I was told that I would join a class full of apprentices, this is important to me as I like to develop my network and meet new people. Sounded too good to be true it was. Joined my class and notice there were only two other apprentices. Okay thats fine not that big of an issue. Later told more would join in the year as they just testing the new apprentice scheme. Okay a bit worrying. After getting settled in it was going brilliant for the first year, everything was professional and respectful had the odd unprofessional staff, but management were quick to sort. A year later, oh god where do I start, all the apprentice IT tutors left and our progress leader during the Christmas holiday. We made contact asking whats happing and when we are next due. No contact from anyone. We even went into collage and no help. A few weeks later we got contacted and an apology. Finely things were getting better. But then it gets worse I went into collage as I have a separate maths course. My ID badge doesnt work? I tell the receptionist this, she tells me to wait only for a member of staff from student services to come and take me to their office. I was then questioned what course I do and who my tutors are and progress leader, I explained my situation and they go my course does not exist, and they have never had that course in the collage lucky being in the collage for some time I had some staff vouch for me which then granted me access to a visitor badge. There are many other things that get worse and other things that are brilliant. It is a great collage and staff do work hard. Just need to be more organized and managed well.

Use their hair and beauty salon, it's great. All students supervised so nothing has gone amiss for me. Lovely atmosphere, fab prices. Hubby uses barbering service which is free, yes FREE. Highly recommend
