This was my college of choice, back in the day. Silly, silly me…read more Just before enrolling I dislocated my knee (for the second time in the space of 18 months) and encountered problems medically. I had torn my quadracepts, and as a result was wheelchair bound. After being informed- at the age of 16- by my knee surgeon that there was a strong possibility I may never walk unaided again, I was in obvious distress. Despite this, I made every effort to attend college as much as humanly possible (apart from the times I'd been admitted to hospital or was in physio) and handed in every little last piece of work. So you can imagine how outraged and appalled I was to be told, point blank, that my contract with Wakefield College was being terminated- because of my "appalling attendance". Despite the fact that I was up to date with all of the required coursework, a straight A student, and had attended even when medically advised not to- I was simply dismissed like a disposable human being. I'm glad to say that I made a near full recovery (I'll never have full use of my leg but I'm just grateful I can walk!) but would not recommend Wakefield College to anybody. To them you are just a number. A number waiting to be crunched.

I took a couple of part-time guitar instruction classes at Leeds College of Music a while back. The…read moreteaching was of a high standard, well organised and requiring good attendance and quite a lot of homework on the part of the pupils. The teacher was pretty demanding and would pull us up if we clearly hadn't done the required work - which I think is a good thing! To be honest I didn't make the progress I would have liked with the classes, but that was entirely my fault. If I'd done all the work I needed to put in, then I would have got a lot better than I did. The teaching itself was not the problem - it was excellent, and in a rather attractive building with good facilities too.

I was impressed when seeing their amazing facilities, ensemble rooms, practice booths, etc…read more However, I have to say, I am really really extremely gutted when I started my course here. It was a huge disappointment. I decided to move to Leeds for the BA in Popular Music course at LCM, having come from a music college in London. First of all, offering no class in music theory and harmony is rather an odd thing for a specialist music institution. My first guitar workshop was held in the basement of a pub across the street?! And that workshop, for 1st year students, were to teach us how to recognise notes on the fretboards while they were expected to have at least grade 8 in their playing skill, but can't recognise what notes they're playing on the fretboard??!! I had 3 days of school per week, only 3 hours out of those 20, I get to use my guitar at school. For the first couple of weeks, the task for the weekly band practice session was just to come up with random riffs which the supervisors don't even care, and then go home without even remembering a bit of it. Tutors are inexperienced. One of the guys I had didn't seem to know much more than I do. 1-to-1 lessons are completely directionless with no specific curriculum. To make it short, I did not get what I expected, I did not get to learn any theory and harmony, I didn't get to improve my sight reading skill, I didn't get to practically learn to play the guitar, I didn't get to improve my aural & transcribing skills, etc. All you'd get there is endless boring lecture about different songs, how to analyse songs by listening to them, and how to successfully make money in the music industry, which the assignments are all about. Nothing is specifically designed for your chosen instrument except for the workshop and the 1-to-1 lesson which takes up no more than 15% of the hours each week. So I ended up quitting within the first 3 weeks. I have heard disturbing rumours that they had seriously dire money problems, and I could clearly see for myself, upon enrolment, that they had certain policies that are set up to rip students off. It's a common thing for universities in the UK to charge non-EU students a higher tuition fee than that EU students have to pay. So when filling out my personal details on the enrolment form, I told them that I was holding dual citizenship, and then they insisted on the fact that I have to pay higher tuition fee because one of the citizenships I was holding is non-EU, despite the fact that I do have British citizenship and grew up here. I ended up having to pay almost two grants more than the EU fee. And for my case, being considered an "international student", the school had a policy for such students that they are required to pay 75% of one-year tuition fee before enrolment and there would be a no-refund policy applied if they decided to withdraw. With that no-refund policy, they obviously want to rip you off by demanding that much money before enrolling you just to make sure they could still keep a large amount of money and wouldn't lose a lot if you decided to withdraw. I was so determined and certain that it was definitely the right uni for me, so I decided to pay the fee in full upon enrolment instead of just 75% as required. So they wouldn't give me a refund for those stupid reasons. They made that decision of not giving me a refund a couple of days after I handed in the withdrawal form. I was so angry and frustrated. I thought I had no choice but have to continue with the course, so I asked them to disregard the withdrawal request but then they said they'd just enroll someone on their waiting list so they had no more space for me to come back then, wtf??!!! At the end, I tried to negotiate and only managed to get back 50% of what I'd paid, and they called that "a gesture of goodwill"??!! What really pissed me off was that the head of school even said to me that it was a very "unfortunate" thing that I paid the full tuition fee upon enrolment while I was only required to pay 75% so that's why I would lose the entire amount. So does that mean THEY are the ones who're in the "fortunate" situation?! Yeah, that's right, I lost over 5000 pounds to them for nothing!! Their money problem can be easily seen by looking at the way they try to cramp too many students in this school. All the seminar-type classes I was in never had enough chairs. Again, to make it short, I would not recommend this school at all, absolutely not!! I can't speak for the entire school, but at least for the BA course in Popular Music, just don't!!! It's completely crap, just stay home and spend about 1 to 2 hours of practice by yourself every day then after 3 years you'd be way more better than those graduates from LCM. And I mean it, I seriously mean it, it's not an exaggeration. If you go there for 3 years, all you'd get will be a shoddy degree with a trashy piece of paper that says you can play an instrument, and that you mainly do classical/jazz/or pop

There was an introduction period in July where she went one morning a week to meet the teachers and her new friends and get used to the school so it was less daunting in September.

As the school is relatively small so there is more focus on the children, no matter what year the kids are in they talk to each other.

There are colleges in Sheffield, Manchester, Huddersfield, Derby and Nottingham as well as Leeds…read more All offer private courses covering an extensive list of beauty treatments from Sports Therapy, Nutrition, to Electrical Epilation. All courses are accredited and all tutors have salon experience. Some seem a little distracted and may be not quite suited to teaching and some of the facilities aren't up to scratch as other more widely established colleges such as Thomas Denby for example there is no library, or finance department to help students pay their fees. There is however, plenty of chance for students to gain practical and essential experience in practicing beauty therapy. Sunday Specials are sessions where you can pay £12 for any two treatments given by trainee students. You could get the same salon quality as a fully fledged beauty therapist would provide, it will probably take longer than in a normal salon and, it is definitely a good deal. The proof of quality can be seen by the hustle and bustle of the Salon on Sunday. Because of this, all students will leave with direct salon experience which any conscientious therapist desires before being let loose on the general public and, as a customer, is invaluable.
