Avoid these pathetic time wasters when applying for an apprenticeship I ve been trying to find apprenticeships and the experience with applying with Nottingham college was just time-wasting because when you are done with call interviews they give no response within the deadline of the apprenticeship Also when I did my in-person interview I asked for some feedback but they said they will after talking to her colleagues who have contact with the employer but they didn t respond with valuable information for me which I have requested Another situation was I applied for an apprenticeship with Nottingham College was again and the apprenticeship team required me to do tests with being required if I was eligible for the apprenticeship even though I passed my English and math qualification which was pathetic and time wasting process Eventually I did the assessments and sent to the women from the apprenticeship team and she gave no bloody response after I wasted nearly all of my day to complete the initial assessments I recommend avoid working with Nottingham college who love wasting people time and apply for other places who at least treat people with respect

No communication with parents at all

Really bad communication and disorganised My daughter failed her maths gcse last year due to covid and missing the first term as no one knew what class she was in and no one could be bothered to let her know and when she did finally find out she needed help with the work and never got it Only for it to happen again this year Not knowing where her class is when asking for help over 10 times Online and in person and keep telling her to go to the same class which wasnt her class but a teachers room With that and a week off being actually ill to the point of coughing her guts up most nights They boot her off the course for low attendance Absolute joke Have my daughter in tears on the phone Do not choose this college

Beyond disbelief with this place

No communication with parents at all once the course started Musical Theatre Course My daughter has serious mental health issues and has received no support at all Following a recent self harm attempted suicide hospitalisation she was berated for her attendance She submitted her UCAS application early but her tutor failed to submit it with the the others with no explanation or apology In fact I d go so far as to say this tutor has her favourite students and the others are unimportant We can only now hope this hasn t affected her chances of moving in to higher education Unacceptable I ve submitted an enquiry to the college Let s see if they reply I won t be holding my breath AVOID AVOID AVOID

Beyond disbelief with this place appalling isn t even the term for this place it s embarrassing It s embarrassing that me as a student is telling fully trained adult staff how to do their jobs I took an apprenticeship on with these never have I ever witnessed such poor disorganisation lies and bs in my life They where so poorly disorganised that they told my employer I wasn t turning up to sessions with the college when I was I had to show bus tickets as proof that I was attending the sessions Then I explained this to my tutor who witnessed me attend sessions and then he proceeded to lie and make excuses up with the college that I wasn t attending sessions I mean what the f- They keep using Covid as an excuse for poor disorganisation and explained because of Covid and the new system they where working from there had been an error with my attendance being logged funny isn t it that they mentioned this once I showed evidence of my bus tickets and got my employer to kick them up the backside it s clearly an excuse when my own tutor was saying I wasn t attending then they blamed that on miscommunication - I mean what They also push these stupid agendas and slogans that have no meaning and are bizarre and pointless and just waste your time as a learner Glad I finished my apprenticeship and didn t continue with my Level 3 parents be WARNED

I am a parent of a child who has just done A levels at Nottingham CollegeThe teaching is non existent and when it does exist it is terrible Any grade she gets will be by the revision she had done herself They didn t finish the syllabus the teachers didn t properly address the advanced information they didn t do past papers they were so badly prepared left in no mans land against state and public schools who were practiced to death One shining light on the darkness Sam Holland who came in a few weeks before the exams and gave her 2 years higher level knowledge in a month thank you you are better than this place you care about your students and know your subject get a job somewhere that cares about their students like you doNottingham College took money and didn t provide an education the lecturers don t care go anywhere but here

City Hub Waste of space

Awful experience was threatened by a member of staff and they overlooked bullying and two tutors where nasty towards me and my friend for a year

High Pavement Sixth form college

Would definitely NOT recommend this college there s no communication between staff to students apart from the very few They kick you off courses when they feel like it without any proper explanation as to why and put you into courses which you never signed up for If you have no experience in the course you are applying for then you will be told your not experienced enough to do it They will also make fake promises to you the best decision I ever made was to leave this college I have a rare condition and because sometimes I get sick they wouldn t let me further my education as my attendance was low due to this I was also denied retrieving my medication from them although all the arrangements for me to collect it was already put into place so walked out empty handed Just AVOID this place altogether especially if you want your kids to have an ongoing education

shittest college

High Pavement Sixth form college admissions reviewVery poor admissions criteria arrangements This college allows no exceptions in access arrangements for prospective students who have recently lost a parent Went to another college WHO UNDERSTOOD this so you lost out on business I also feel that even if you have not lost a parent if you have a good set of GCSE results i e only not achieving maths or English for A levels the college could offer students a place and get them to do a retake in maths or English Other colleges actually look at the overall results and make better judgements Disappointing
