Northbrook College in Worthing

I want to warn all parents that this college will not protect your children from bullying. We approach the college as our daughter was being verbally assaulted and told by this bullying that she was going to get beaten up. We were told by the collage safeguarding team that there is nothing they can do uphill our daughter is physically assaulted. We spoke to the police and they were very concerned with the attitude of the college and there lack of support to our daughter. Because of this our daughter is now refusing to go back to college.. I would recommend all parents to find a better college that will look after and support your children...

Absolutely horrible. While i was here for 2 years my course went through multiple teachers in multiple departments and then the following year the school structure changed and i had completely new teachers as well. As a computer based course the software rarely worked and took months to get fixed, and when it did work it ran so slowly that nothing could be done. I joined my specific course because i had a passion for it beforehand and already had learned how to do stuff in the course when i was 14 out of passion. This course taught nothing extra and the stuff we were taught i learned when i was 14 in minutes. This destroyed my passion for this and although i cant say i wont not do it in the future, this course actively made me not want to make it into a career. Do not go here!

the restaurant is amazing, great food at cheap prices

Pretty smart place. Fashion, music, theatre and art courses. With fabulous facilities too. The music facilities must be the best in the country.

I was on the BA Theatre Arts course at this college, the college itself is in a dire amount of debt! This comes across into the classroom quite blatantly. Students who are failing rather than being reprimanded or expelled are still allowed to collaborate with the other students bringing down the overall grades and learning experience for others due to the university trying to keep as many students as they can out of necessity for funding! Not to mention that a theatre arts course during the 1st and 2nd year of the university basically became a film making course due to covid-19 and the university had the audacity to say that we as students do not deserve a refund due to the quality of education that we received staying the same. The poor lecturers are stretched so thin due to funding that they pay out of work actors to come give lectures and workshops to the BA students because they have those tired lecturers teaching 1st, 2nd and 3rd year BA classes as well as overseeing the college courses as well. Please unless you want to go for production arts, music or game design . . . do not join this college. It is a sinking ship with CEO’s changing all the time. You cannot make a complaint up the chain of command because no one knows who is in charge anymore. I am sure this used to be a good college 7 years ago but now it is nothing but a festering corpse with a band aid passing for an education. Would give 0-5 if I could!

Excellent food and service at a very reasonable price

So far very good,but there's always room for improvement.

Always a pleasure to study, learn and meet like minded people. All credit to Maggie Tredwell and class. Thank you Maggie..xx

An enjoyable evening with attentive staff and well presented food. We have been before and we will be going again.

My daughter had an audition here. The tutors were great. Very friendly. The students I saw seemed very happy. My daughter was impressed with the course they were offering. Food in the canteen was OK. Reasonably priced.

Just been to watch twisted tales. Totally amazing starting start to finish. Well done to all the actors. Many stars of the future. I just hope the college manages to sustain funding as it would be a shame for the college to close

Nice friendly and helpful people as with other MET sites

Games development course on point 👌

Took my grandson to enrol in his course. All done very professionally and safe.

I been going to Northbrook now for six years now and I have almost finished my last course. When I started Northbrook doing the course work skills I found it wasn’t going to be like sixth form as I was almost kicked out after the first week for explaining what my super power would be and I have to say I had to cry for forgiveness even though I thought it was a laugh. After that pathetic course I decided to stay on and try to get to a level 3 course as throughout my life I was told I would never complete a level 3 by teachers and freinds but of course they were wrong. I went onto level 1 IT for a year but after that thanks to the teacher he helped me to find my dream course of digital arts. I got a merit on my level 2 course and even better a distinction on my first year of level 3 after creating a anti bullying charity. I’m now currently on my last year but I wish it didn’t have to end. The teachers are all fantastic within the digital arts area not one of them leaves you without giving you help. Even the other courses I have done the teachers have been good but not all of them. Northbrook has even helped me get into the working world thanks to the 100% project at Worthing theatre. I’m only giving this four stars due to mainly the first year I had at Northbrook they could have handled it a bit better and as the level 1 classes did drag on a lot but overall thanks to this college they got me to my goal of achieving a level 3, sure it took a lot of time as well as 3k (for this year) but it was truly worth it and have made a lot of freinds and great memories.

Don't go to this college if u want to do anything other than games development or music, the other courses are bad, best games development course in the country

I mean, I studied Games Development here for five years, so they must be doing something right I suppose! xD

Great facilities, teachers and courses. The new music department is incredible and very professional. The theatre and theatre courses are also professional and of exceptional quality.

Started my cooking corse here. First year here, after leaving school I knew everything they had to teach.. so simple, went on further for the second year, they started giving us frozen ready made food you could buy from Iceland!(frozen ready made quiches, sausages pizzas etc. 'which WE SHOULD HAVE LEARNED FROM SCRATCH' )We just opened the packaging and read the time stated And this was to give to PRIVATE conferences outside of the college! Disappointed with the time I wasted there and left halfway through the year. Don't waste your time. Glad I left.

Online courses really bad,bad comunication,lack of interest in the students.A place to avoid like the plage.

I moved colleges to be treated with respect and I wasn't. I feel appauled at how little I was respected by staff and how little certain other students were too. Certain teachers need to learn that you can't be bias and that other people have feelings. Wouldn't recommend this college to anybody.

Loving the new music studios, amazing gear.

If you're thinking of doing any art related subject, I seriously recommend Northbrook College, the teachers are fantastic! The courses are exciting and you learn so many new art techniques.

This is the WORST college ever. Staff are rude and unhelpful, course was very unorganised. Save your money and go somewhere else.
