The dedicated faculty and innovative programs at this University have propelled my child's education to new heights, and their growth has been nothing short of inspiring.

This is by far the worst college to enroll into. I have studied in this college for 2 years and completed my a levels here. If your wishing to do a levels here forget it. The staff here are so rude and unqualified its a joke, not to mention they rarely turn up to the lesson; hence 95% of the time lessons are cancelled. Hope Massiah is a fraud maths teacher and so it Kaylene Alfred that practically i had to teach myself the a level maths content with no assistance. please reconsider whether your suited to do a levels here as the teachers here do not care about you.

This college has great staffs and some may be strict and rude but all are very friendly and kind. Also the college is really big and everything looks good and clean and good decorated outside and inside the building. I am happy i got in, its a good highly college. Great teaching and excellent respect towards everyone. I find this college one of the best colleges i ever went too!

I must admit SOME of the teachers cannot teach...but it's a very chilled atmosphere, always clean, toilets are fine. And the amount of equipment for photographers is outstanding considering it's not a specialist subject or anything. If you hated highschool and want to go to college, I would highly recommend CWC.

teachers are lazy some of them not professional I have got one dose not speak good English!!!! feel sorry about my self to study in this college..
By Mohamed Ataya (Oct, 2017) |

On the enrolment open day I had to wait 6 hours in the queue and as a result I got to speak not even for 10 minutes to a man who wasn't being helpful at all. The toilets of the college had an awful smell. This was definitely not what I was expecting considering that this college is in central London. In the college that I'm currently attending the staff is very kind and helpful and the building is clean and beautiful even though it's in southend. From my experience I wouldn't recommend this City of Westminster College. I hope in the future they treat people with more respect. Nobody deserves to be treated like I was.

This is the first week of the term and already this college is showing signs of incompetence. No class room allocated for a lesson, students having to bring in GCSE Certificates on 3 separate occasion to prove they are exempt from retaking maths and English and class cancelled due to lecturer not turning up. Very shabby and unprofessional so far.
By Patel Asotra (Aug, 2017) |

I think these reviews largely speak for themselves, but also wanted to add my dismay as having "studied" here very recently I can also add that CWC is utterly appalling and a disgrace to the UK's education system. Avoid like the plague, I wouldn't DREAM of sending my child here.

I have been in this college for the last 2 academic years. I really enjoy doing my current course and the teachers are lovely. They helped me to achieve very good grades. The teachers I have are really good with their profession. However, it depends on what course you do and what teachers to get because it will impact on what experience you gain from it. For example, I did a science course when I started and I did not like the teachers I got and always liked to put me down, they were always late and not very supporting. For these reasons I have decided to switch course to health and social care, I loved every expirence of it and they were supportive, caring and the standard of teaching is fantastic
