Heart of Worcestershire College has been a transformative experience for my child, with dedicated staff guiding them toward remarkable achievements in their studies.

I have just completed an access course here, and am now going on to my first choice university. I can honestly say I would never have been able to do this without the continuous support, fantastic teaching and genuine care given by the tutors and other members of staff. If you are a mature student coming back into education I couldn't reccomend their access courses more. Thank you for everything!

Both my teachers are amazing at what they do and I thank the college for helping me on my route to success. Brilliant place to study...

Most of my teachers would arrive late and after registering you would just leave and you wouldn’t be able to find them again for hours. They refuse to help you with anything weather it be your work or a serious issue. They won’t even respond to emails that need a reply. The staff treat you like shit. Don’t ever consider this college.

A brilliant facility to either brush up on your skills or learn new Microsoft programs. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and patient and have given me all the support I needed. Would highly recommend.

Some tutors were great, others were not! I didn't feel like I was given enough support with uni applications and the college was overall very unorganised!

Did my level 2, part time Beauty Therapy training last year and now on my level 3 which finishes in June. The range of treatments you cover and the professionalism has been superb. Now on higher level electrical treatments, Swedish massage, aromatherapy, Indian head amongst others. Many of the girls have been offered jobs and companies are really interested and placing adverts here as they know we have been thoroughly trained..

had the best 4 years at college thanks to every tutor at the college. i had no confidence when i left school and since i was part of the college they have helped me. some of the tutors helped me when my granddad died 2 years ago. sad that im leaving. meet some great friends too whilst being here. but it can improve on communication and organisation.

Completely unorganised, teachers turning up to lessons 45 minutes late, lack of rules and discipline, whole class failed an assignment due to teacher not being experianced enough to teach, and went under review due to the amount of complaints, would not recommend as a reliable place to enrol

Lewis Simmons, best teacher i have ever had, really helped me through the first two year, all the teachers in the student lounge, brilliant, they have helped me with all my personal private life, the only down fall to this year is that, i may not be able to see them all to get advice from people who know how to speak to me, and that's a shame. all this is just down to the bus, no cheap transport means no more me...i am certainly not the only person in the colleges that are thinking the exact same! do something about it!
