Studied performing arts here for two years couldn't fault my first year my tutor was fantastic until we got assigned a different tutor luckily in my first year of level three the course got shut down, me and my fellow classmates were marked on modules we didn't ever get told to complete and were graded unfairly. This caused me to be unable to achieve the grades needed for university. Regret going here so much.

I completed the access to higher education course and the tutors, staff and facilities were all amazing. The staff couldn't do enough for me and if I needed help they always had time. They pushed me to my limits and I achieved things I never thought possible. I am now in year 2 at UCLAN studying biomedical science. If it wasn't for Gill, Des, Jodie and Mark I would NOT be where I am today. Thanks guys. 5*...

Studied performing arts here finished this year,I was lucky enough to have great class mates but my experience was mostly extremely negative. Course leader was unprofessional and would make promises then never follow through such as applying to universities where none off us received support with auditions or applications would also talk about there personal life none stop, make you feel guilty for anything every chance.
When asked for feedback on course and offsted inspection we where told that if we where to give honest feedback we would be kicked off the course, if we had anything wrong with work or needed extra support it would not be given to us, would gossip about students to other students and staff. Would not recommend this college to anyone.

I believe the college has failed the sports massage course I am still waiting for the college to contact me and tell me I'm not getting my level 4 certificate for the course . It has taken another student to notify me as I work full time I cannot afford to take time out again to complete this .totally disappointed I have also done circuit training for which cost me £100 and I am still awaiting that certificate this is over 12 months ago . Now I know why all the courses are cheaper at this college

Poor course management on the sports massage course, leaving students with no explanation as to why they haven't completed the qualification. Not worth the discounted price!
