Walsall college support you in many more ways than just the course you are doing.. my 2 years at college definitely changed me as a person, growing into a successful beauty therapist with the correct attitude towards the job.
The tutors are amazing with offering on going support even after you leave and always caring it's not just their job to then they want each and every student to do their very best and succeed
The Beauty Team are a credit to the college

Wonderful supportive teachers such as: Mark Rowberry& Angie Taylor (from the access department) they were very positive and uplifting towards their students. I appreciated the help, support and guidance that I received I hope they know that I am thankful for everything they have done for me. I learned allot and gained great grades I left with 30 merits, 12 distinction and 3 passes in access to healthcare professions. The experience was good it was not easy but it was worth it I wouldn't change a thing I would recommend Walsall college to anyone thinking of going into higher education.

Walsall college is a great place to learn sometimes a student may feel that things arnt fair in certain situations but that is down to the student and what they allegedly done I have been attending walsall college for 2 years so far the first was a level 2 art course and the 2nd year was level 3 media in TV and film I only did the 1 year of that due to issues with other students but although there was issues the tutors best intreast was to educate and talk to you like an adult to sort situations out like these I am now going to be starting the level 3 photography course and will be stopping for the full length of that so another 2 years but all in all this college is great with the tutors sometimes things can seem one sided but they do their best to support each student equally and respectfully so they should be treated with respect by the students as for the students themselves the majority are nice and friendly to talk too but some are rude and threatening even on the facility great college great tutors it's just a shame some students have no respect and act like kids when they are surprise to be young adults and mature about things

I wanted to adapt this review as I have completed my degree and after 6 solid years of education, I am now leaving Walsall College happy with the career path I can achieve now. Thanks to the support of the tutors over the entire 6 years, I am more confident within myself as a person as well as my chosen career path. Thank You Walsall College

I wanted to enjoy my time at your college but unfortunately the college does not accept people with disabilities as I got stopped by many staff coming into college because my seizures were health and safety risk! Crap! I also know a friend who also has epilepsy and got stopped from doing her course.
I would not recommend this college to anyone with a disabilty as they obviously don't know how to give people equal opportunities

I'm doing the evening course at the moment and I'm more than Unhappy with the course.
I've paid out of my own money over £1000 to do the evening plumbing course, whilst working full time, to better myself. I come in to practical sessions and there's either not enough equipment or no space. Lecturers are good but can't spend enough time to help especially when we are on harder stuff and need abit more advice!! Very unhappy.
