Overall I have enjoyed the opportunities this course has allowed me to do including ambassador and our educational trip to Berlin. I enjoy the social side of this course as everybody is different which has allowed me to gain new communication skills.

I enjoy the facilities around me in college especially the 10th floor in Parsons as I appreciate the free printing which I benefit from as I take full advantage of this.

I appreciate this as it is always done in the best way, feedback and grades are always on time.

The teaching on our course is very beneficial as I enjoy having discussions on certain topics and always get the help I need with my work which I find really helps my overall grade.

During Level 4, we had the opportunity to be become ambassadors for Newcastle Airport. I gained employment through this and currently work as a Passenger Services Assistant in the airport. This has helped me to gain the skills I need in order to work within this industry. Being an ambassador allowed us to experience real life situations, and how to cope with these problems to further help us develop new skills required for our future jobs in this industry.

I have attended the college for over 3 years and I will be extremely emotional on leaving in May (providing I pass!). It’s been a huge learning curve and I’ve met life long friends and I have developed as a person. I have the college to thank for this, they have supported me throughout my journey and I will never forget my time here. Thank you newcastle college!

Excellent. There is a separate floor dedicated to higher education students, including over 50 computer stations, this is an essential area where students can complete both individual assignments and group presentations.

As previously stated, the support on offer from the college is fantastic both academically and personally. The students have opportunity to book weekly 1-1 tutorials on any issues whether it be work related or personal. Progress will be monitored and further help can be offered such as counselling, therapy courses and all is handled with confidentiality.

Classrooms are small, with no more than 30 pupils within each teaching session. This allows a healthy relationship to be made between the pupils and the tutor. The college makes me feel like they will be able to help no matter what the situation, it really possesss a personal touch which is rare in my experience.

We must secure placement whilst studying. The college will come out to visit us whilst at the schools to monitor our progress. This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience within an educational setting and many of us will even gain immediate employment this way.
