Inclusion & environment
When getting children ready to play outside, transition times can become disorganised, leaving children waiting for a long time without anything to do and becoming bored.
I would not recommend this college to anyone looking for a well-structured and properly delivered course. I completed the Computing T Level course, and it was nothing like what was advertised. Lecturers frequently failed to turn up, leaving students without guidance. The work experience component was supposed to be 315 hours, yet we were only given three weeks to complete it, forcing us to rush through it with little benefit. The T Level exam was cancelled multiple times due to poor planning, as the college failed to check the system before exam day. Even worse, the same issue caused the exam to be cancelled again the following year. This level of disorganization is unacceptable. A major part of the course involved coding, yet we were not taught this aspect at all. This had a significant impact on our grades, and many students ended up failing because of the college’s negligence. Most lecturers did their best with the limited resources they had, but there was no structure or clear planning in place. The only positive was that the staff were friendly, but they were far too laid-back. This lack of discipline led to students losing focus, with some skipping sessions altogether. Overall, this college failed to deliver on its promises, and I feel like my time was completely wasted.
Read on GoogleI recently completed the T Level Computing course (Digital Production, Development, and Design) at Broadstairs College, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. While the lecturers were nice, friendly, and genuinely tried their best with the resources they had, the course itself suffered from significant issues. The program was plagued by constant staff changes, poor management, and a lack of resources, which severely impacted the quality of learning. The exams were also poorly organized, making the overall experience messy and frustrating. I believe the course has potential and each course is different, but it requires better planning, consistent staffing, and adequate resources to provide students with the education they deserve.
Read on GoogleI had a pretty ok experience here. it was not the actual students at this college. but a teacher who disrupted a hair treatment i was receiving from a level 3 student who did an amazing job by the way. even though i had gotten my hair done many times before and had already pat tested to see if i was allergic to the hair dye, the teacher decided to interupt her as shes put the dye on my head and screamed at her to put it down in her notes even though she had already done it before. she’d already put the hair due on and then made me wait for 10 minutes at most. a couple teachers in the salon are clearly unprofessional and the students are so much more kinder then them. However, i do have a positive experience with the teacher anne marie, she was very poliet and friendly and made me feel quite welcome while the others were very gossipy and rude towards people.
Read on GoogleI recently finished 3 years doing a poorly run IT course. I felt that lecturers expected students to know everything. On some days the lecturers were late or wouldn't turn up at all. The best part of the day would be going to the fish and chip shop for lunch. I was truly shocked when they said that we had to get 315 hours of work experience done in like 4 or 6 weeks and there is actually more of a chance to communicate with a ghost than anyone at the college.
