Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I just finished my studies in the level 3 patisserie and confectionery course in June.
I was happy to pay the £3.5k for the course and equipment as i was initially impressed but I never thought i could hate an entire college like I do with westminster kingsway.
I tried settling this privately but since I just found out some even worse information about this place I've decided to make it public, as that lack of care that this college has for its students is laughable.
The course was depressing and heart breaking, we had a sarcastic and rude lecturer who was poorly organised. Our lessons would change. There was never enough time for us to finish our dishes properly due to the poor organization. There wasn't enough equipment and even sometimes enough ingredients. Feedback was unhelpful and non-existant. Not enough space to work. Recipes were more often than not wrong, so we never produced anything up to standard. The lack of communication about our coursework and the course in general, also this can be said the same for extra information like events that might be happening. I was never happy with what I made because recipes were wrong, no feedback and impossible time constraints.
doesn't recommend ..!

I took International culinary course for 48 weeks.
It was an amazing course with good facilities and lots of good culinary experience like guest chefs’ lecture and useful field trips. And my teachers were fantastic, they managed the course and students really well. I highly recommend this college for anyone who needs deeper and higher culinary experience!

Discrimination, unfair grading, teachers have favourites and unfairly grade students depending on how they feel or like them... some teachers are unstable and it's not a good place to learn..

I studied at WKC in Victoria, business management for 2 years I finished in 2012, I can tell that it was hard because of my lack of English at that time, but the support and understanding from the teachers and colleagues help me pass throughout everything. It is sad to see some people saying they had their worst experience, because for me was the best experience and our teachers really cared about us and support us. Hope there are the same teachers! I never had the chance to thank them after I finished, but yes thank you for all your effort! I really recommend the college, it is really one of the best in London!

An interesting place to learn. I was there on various courses for 2 years. Very diverse and multi-cultural. Good teaching although better on some courses than others. I recommend the college.

I studied last course an Access course to HE in Business and I would not even recommend to my worst enemy to attend a business course at this college. It has been my worst experience in education ever. The college itself and staff are nice -despite that I still waiting a refund of £10 of my Oyster card, which I claimed in several occasions. The lack of organisation of the business departments and the unsupportive teachers I had, impacted in my grades and in my mental health. I am now off to university, but I do not want more innocent people to suffer the nightmare I had to go through to make my dream of going to university a reality. What I have achieved on this course it has been by myself without any support of the teachers. Here some of the examples of my bad experience at this course: Exams lost, 0 support with personal statement by any of the teachers, undertaking an exam on the last day of the course just a few hours before the grades had to be upload in the system, etc. I filled a week ago a feedback paper to complaint about my course, but nobody has contacted me yet. I am aware that more students complained about this course. I never met anyone in my class and the other class satisfied with the course. It is the wort place ever...

I studied Entry Three and Entry One at Westminster Kingsway College from 2015 till 2017, I just finished Entry General Vocational Studies. To be honest, I really loved it, because of the teachers. Especially my English teacher Stephanie Yoon and Peter Ferguson. When I came to this country, even I could caught what people are saying and then I felt so bored, I always thought why I don't understand people, and after awhile when I finished ESOL, I understood every single point of the English Language which is grammar. One thing that I want to mention I was in Entry one, so when I finished it I skipped to Entry Three. Now I am very satisfied from my teachers and college, and I am doing to start my course ICT at City Westminster College.
