Year 12 was an enjoyable experience, with teachers showing support and care constantly. However, the transition into year 13 wasn't as smooth as we had various issues with teachers which resulted in our teachers being swapped numerous times. Coming up to the end of year 13, it is clear to see that the college has a lack of care for our studies, with us as students being handed various assignments to complete in the space of a week, with one being due to the college's fault of teacher-related issues. From this, we have been given a 24-hour deadline to complete an assignment resubmission. The support from the college heading into the final month of college is very minimal and it is clear that they no longer care for our studies through the lack of support. Would not recommend studying a Level 3 Btech in business here.

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!)
