Review of NCN Nottingham

Well what can I say the reviews on google and face...

Well what can I say the reviews on google and facebook speak for themselves this college is a poor excuse for an education establishment and it deserves to be investigated.
There are a lot of issues with Nottingham college some are very concerning! if you are any parent please think twice about sending your child here or if your an adult please think twice about your application with this college! I would strongly advise other options!
Now before I get into my issues and issues about the safety and well being of other students and there learning development, I want to say that in no means am I out to attack Nottingham college. They do have some lovely and dedicated staff that care but get treated like dirt by poor management.
Please note the facilities and equipment are 90 percent of the time really good if not outstanding.
The main point is this college both originally central college and ncn have been forced into a merge by city councillors, councillors that couldn t give a damn about any students future or members of staff that have worked there for years it s all about saving as much money as possible that s why this college has gone way below teaching standards and I m sure any staff that reads this will agree!
I don t know where to begin maybe with the lies I ve been told and promised? at the beginning of the term our class was promised the world we won t let you down we have a high pass rate!, we want to see all our students succeed and work towards their future, we are committed to your learning and we have support everywhere . All of what was promised to our class was a dirty lie my work that s gone missing was blamed on me even though my tutor lost it I was made to do an entire unit from scratch a unit I put work and effort into all night for the past few weeks. Our coursework was unmarked almost all the time or late.
Teachers not turning up to lessons or late happened on a regular basis, members of staff didnt know where any of the teachers where.
I can go on...this college doesn t give a damn about any student that attends! it s all about money and how there image looks good I m so thankful I didn t pay for my course as others did.
The learning support if you fall behind? Well there is none even though I asked multiple times for support to help with my speed and with catch up and was given excuses.
There are some teachers that are not stable winch showed! they cannot cope with teaching a class and there are some that really only care about themselves.
Communication was also an issue when I had days off i emailed my tutor for given work and was ignored and then pulled into a meeting and blamed that it was my issue not a single sorry or admittance of their mistake.
During the beginning of my term the college also has major security issues with there computers and viruses and where not fit to use securely.
When substitute teachers stepped in to cover many did not have a clue as to what units we where being taught or what was needed to be taught so on a basis of a teacher being of we where aloud to do what we wanted whilst the tutor sat down or went missing for half of it and we where left on our own with no work given.
The Units weren t being taught to us properly and this showed in the final assessment which to my amazement the teacher then found out she never taught us one of the units shown in the final assignment.
Students often walked out and no teacher knew where they where or bothered to chase up where they had gone.
Course management was poor any concerns I raised or bullying issues with other students where not taken seriously any brushed under the carpet.
I think it s time offsted got involved!
I won t be doing any further education here I will be attending Derby college.
