North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College (Nuneaton Campus) in Nuneaton and Bedworth

Anybody having trouble getting back into this college, after introduction year to do level ones, two people that I know have been told that they haven't got grades yet the people haven't seen there grades. One person had a letter of acceptance now told no. What's going on it terrible

The whole experience as a part of the EHE class was awful. We had winters without heating, months without a teacher for literature, no proper books for English language in year 11 and every time I brought up a problem it was ignored ( I spoke to the head of EHE at the time when I was in year 10 and my Mom's email complaints were ignored). The whole time we were treated as though the most we could achieve were 4s and we would all need to go to a level 2 course. This is especially evident in the way the maths is delivered to students ( this was absolutely not the teacher's fault in any way but the management). I was doing higher and predicted a 7 but had no class or time dedicated to any work above a grade 3 level in college. The teacher (Kanella Godenn-wood) was amazing at assigning and helping with the higher homework but the actual classes were a waste of time for someone like me who came in with a grade 6. The English language classes are another area in need of desperate attention. The whole first half term of year 11 none of my home or class work got marked. It only went down hill from there when we did get work marked it was by ourselves and a slide of the mark scheme on the board with no further nuance. This set the tone for the class as the teacher seemed disinterested and bored as she read out slideshows she didn't make off the board and complained about the amount of marking she had to do. This unending amount of marking confused me as i sat with a folder full of unmarked work that I was not allowed to take home incase of an OFSTED inspection. The other major complaint I have about the language class is the fact we had no actual books. We had in year 10 but they were replaced by flimsy, thin booklets of paper stapled together. A lot of people including myself finished these with a whole term left and needed the teacher to rip out paper from one of her books. Literature is a class which had two wonderful teachers however in year 10 we spent months without a teacher as she had health problems and needed time off which I have no qualm with however instead of getting a substitute management left us to fend for ourselves, which of course left us and the new teacher in year 11 falling behind and with weak topics. The one star for this course is for some of the teachers Kanella and Cassandra who went above and beyond to provide us with the best education they could give us. They are absolutely the only good part of this whole experience. To sum up the whole experience is impossible I have a list of things which are wrong with the college but the main point is the fact that students are treated as though the most they can achieve is the bare minimum. The expectation for us is to get 3 gcses and need to go onto a level 2 course. The whole experience is just that, the bare minimum again the lack of heating in winter, the lack of communication with students around exam time and general feeling that we are nothing more to the college than a bunch of poor results waiting to happen is awful. I cannot recommend this college to anyone whether you are getting high or low grades because the college is not structured to make you better but rather as damage control for when you do fail.

From my experience this college isn’t the best. If you are thinking of doing a business t-level, I wouldn’t advise you do it. To start off, I had three teachers. But I had two main ones that I had for the majority of the time. One was great, but one was awful. I used to tell him upfront that his teaching style didn’t suit me and some of the other students for that matter. But it didn’t change. The timetabling was useless too since the times we were timetabled were beyond actual college hours and the times that we finished at never matched. One of the days we had a lesson and sometimes there was an 30 min - 1 hour wait until the next one! I wrote an email to the relevant manager which sought to different departments, I think. Don’t quote me on this one. Nothing really got done about this either. Some of the students too - disgraceful. Their behaviour used to make me feel ill. They would talk about inappropriate things which include such - burping, bodily functions and they used to pick on me too, and others! Also, the classrooms aren’t the most hygienic either, I picked up quite a few colds and the food wasn’t the best either. I’ve now left the college, and thankfully, I will be moving on to something which i will enjoy more. Apart from the lovely reception staff, I would not recommend the college.

I done a distance learning with these and they are brilliant. And my tutor is one of the nicest people ever. Thank you

Applied for distance learning assessing work, interviewed 3 months later and then kept waiting 6 more weeks I withdrew my application as the wasted my time.

Don’t bother submitting an online request on their website. I did this twice 3 weeks ago and heard nothing back. These days this is amateur hour. Either not managing online enquiries or deleting them.

Awful management. They have absolutely no care in the world to resolve bullying in this place and only seem to care about their sad excuse of a reputation. Advice? Avoid this entire building.

The college were quick enough to take my money to pay for my course however it took over 7 months to receive my certificate. During this time the communication from the college was awful, they ignored my emails until I asked to put in an official complaint. The building itself is dirty, no drinking water provided, some departments have hand written 'back in 10 minutes' signs, you have no idea when the 10 minutes started. The walkway from the back of the college is very poorly lit. The lecturers are really unprofessional they think its okay to bad mouth the college and their bosses to students. I added an extra star as the reception staff and the library staff are lovely.

Warning Never studied at this college.. I did my level 1 hairdressing and the year after they won't let me do level 2 hairdressing... the worst college in the area..

did a hairdressing course at the nuneaton nwslc college, the rooms were untidy and lecturers were persistant on trying to demonstrate on students hair without their permission. they burnt chunks of my hair off and made me feel very cornered. as well as this the food is absoultely outrageous i almost fainted seeing the prices of a small hashbrown. which didnt even taste nice. thanks to the overpriced food i was stuck on the toilet for a week because of the overpriced hasbrown. DONT GET FOOD HERE SAVE YOURSELVES.

My daughter studied level 1 and 2 hairdressing was told she was qualified to find out she wasnt because they false advertising courses so she feels like she wasted 2 yrs for the career she wanted to pursue would not recommend this college at all

Both my lads attended one mainly the Hinckley Campus the other Nuneaton campus. My eldest had great support and thanks to the Principles support we managed to secure 4 scholarships to Teeside University. One scholarship for my eldest and 3 others which may not have happened with out the Principle supporting my letter to Teeside. Originally because they weren't 'A' level students and took the BTEC avenue, which for arts is more sensible they might not have received the scholarships which were worth £4k for the term of University. See fighting for things does work. Well done Stuart for achieving a 1st with Hounors too! A first University student in my family too! Well done to Michael too achieving his apprenticeship as an electrician, Chip off the old block! Slow starter but made it in the end.

Have tried getting an extra qualification, they messed me around for over a year. Then put me on a course and i recieved no guidance of any sort. Its been 15years since i was at college so naturally it would take me awhile to get back into things. Still they were no help.

Personally I like the collage and have been looking forward but I'm not so sure anymore if it was a good idea the teacher I have is nice except I see that I'm being pushed for my work even tho I have a problem with it

Nuneaton campus is atrocious! The college sends warning letters to parents, regarding students bad attendance for online lessons, when it is the tutors fault for not inviting the students to online lessons in the first place!! As it is the responsibility of the tutor to invite the students onto the online lesson each time a lesson is due to take place, may i suggest to certain tutors who don't know what their left arm is doing from their right, to enrole themselves on a course in organisation...as at the moment they don't know how to organise a empty draw!!! Totally useless college. I would look to send your child to a different college if i was you.

The college is disgusting! They have told me to take time out education because they're not Professionally trained in mental health issues and they think they know students feeling better!

Pretty alright teachers for the most part but the counsellor is awful and pays attention to the bully instead of the victim and will discuss very private matters in front of them without asking for the victim's consent or anything

Hello this was a helpful college I came looking for a teaching assistant course and they did not know I have a nvq in early years childcare and education . I had already completed a apprenticeship in this hard course. I phoned up to say I had already done it and they understood. Yes I am grateful they took my name off that course straight away. Thank you.

The staff are very warm and helpful from reception, finance, library, catering and many tutors who support a wide range of individuals with different needs. It’s the best I have ever been to. I have two degrees and now changing careers as a mature student. North Warwickshire and Hinckley College has given me the strength to widen my ambition. I highly recommend the hair, beauty and complementary therapy department as this is now my career 100%.

My motorbike got stolen and there are very nasty teachers at Nuneaton campus

I was told through out my first year that i would be able to go onto my next level weather i get my GCSE english or not and i have know found out that it was wrong i was pushed to apliy for my next course when i wasnt sure what to do i am now being pushed aside and told just pick something out when i have had a letter telling me i am enrolled on the course the college have confirmed that the letter is wrong and have gone out to everyone but arent doing anything about it they are just pushing me to pick something else or have a gap year it has not been handled well.

Web site will not load, absolute rubbish won’t be applying here.

Nice, £1 to park if you're staying over 30 minutes.

Really kind people and I like the fact it is quite small and not overcrowded. I'm thankful they offer my course of choice here as I couldn't find graphic design anywhere in my town. I don't know why there as so many bad complaints but from when I went there it seemed 100% better than my high school. I now currently go here and I made friends instantly and the course is pretty good. You get loads of freedom to do what you want within your project. HINCKLEY GRAPHIC DESIGN

TERRIBLE!! I studied level 3 health and social care (at the Nuneaton) and tutors were not helpful at all! Half of the time they did not know what they were doing and only 3 weeks before our exam we was left without a teacher!! Due to the tutor not knowing how to teach very well we ended up having to teach ourselves as all he did was either go through the same power points continuously or hand out irreverent word searches. We complained to the head of department and then had someone supervise our lesson, which at the end they blamed the teacher not being able to teach on us students! After telling other tutors about our problems and nothing being done (AGAIN) we took matters into our own hands and spoke with the other health and social care students (from a separate class) to see if they were experiencing the same problems as us, once we found out they were we wrote a formal letter of complaint and everyone signed it. The head of department then came into our class to speak to us about what we wrote. We was supposed to be taught 6 units and there was one we wasn't taught at all and was told to "teach ourselves". There was no power points or resources on the college website for us to use and we stated this in our complaint after asking our tutor multiple times to put them on, he never did. The head of department then told us she would tell him and FINALLY a month later (after us emailing her about them!) he did. At the beginning of the year we paid a fee of £35 and an extra £25 for what we was told would get a trip out of, it is now 8 days before the course ends (06/06/2017) and we haven't been on any trips or even informed of any that are happening!!!! We was giving many deadlines all at once which we struggled to reach due to the lack of teaching we received. However after we did hand our completed work in we never received any feedback meaning when we had a re-sub we struggled on what we needed to change/ make better. This college is a waste of time and I recommend going somewhere different.

YOU CAN'T WEAR HATS!!! (JK) Although the tutors change every 5 minutes

would not recommend this college they lose paperwork and change teacher every 2 week and you cant wear a hat or even breath!

Good parking, Level disabled access with lift to upper floors and 'Changing Places' disabled toilet on ground floor (unsure of facilities on other floors). Small canteen and coffee shop for staff and students. Library for staff and students.

Well equipped for woodwork, metalwork, haircutting and other trades.

Did not even get as far as studying part time in the college due to the appalling admissions service. Application process online does not work, enquiries on e-mail are not answered, ladies answering a phone are clueless about the courses and give wrong information ,which lead to being turned down on the enrolment day due to all kinds of excuses on their behalf!

Awful college and shocking complaints procedure with no one dealing with your complaint properly or in the correct manner. English and Maths courses never ran alongside course properly. Courses are classed as full time but definitely a very part time one that my offspring was on and they would of benefitted just as much from it as doing a night course just once a week. Badly let down by course with no other course offered yet you are supposed to be in education or approved training until you reach 18 years old. Unhelpful tutor of course . The guidance centre for courses and careers was useless and provided no options they didn't even know what courses would be running in January and its December already. A SHEER WASTE OF TIME!!!
