Craven College has truly transformed my son's educational journey; the dedicated staff and engaging curriculum fuel his ambition and growth like never before!

The tutors are really helpful and caring I can go talk to them whenever I need to. Only downside is they need to be tougher on students would act up and mess about in class as this makes it difficult for the rest of us who want to learn to be able to concentrate. Other than that loving Health and social care.

I did a two year course here and hated almost every second of it. There are pros and cons to everything, but I must say the cons far outweigh the pros here. The main thing I remember is the lack of support we got. Mainly while applying to university, throughout that entire process we had very little help. The tutors left it right until the last minute to send our UCAS applications off. The tutors didn’t seem to care about their students or our futures at all. I wouldn’t recommend going here.
