I have had a great experience at this college. I have been coming here for many years and I will sure miss it now that I have finished my studies. I left high school with just about no GCSES. Blackburn college helped me achieve them. It took me 6 years’ worth of resits at this college to achieve a grade 4 in GCSE maths. In all that time it took they allowed me back time and time again to try again. They never gave up on me and never lost faith. They always believed I could achieve it which help me carry on trying even when I thought it was a waste of time. Tutors at Blackburn College helped me see that I could go far and that I should aim high. They encouraged me to go to the university centre. If it wasn’t for the push that I needed I don't think I would have gone. They helped me keep my determination to achieve my end results. They helped me believe that I was capable of becoming a teacher even when I thought my quiet personality/ shyness would hold me back. It has taken many years of hard work to get to where I am today and if it wasn't for Blackburn College, I don't think I would have achieved what I have today. The tutors here are fantastic at helping you grow into the person you want to be and know you can be. They help you find confidence in yourself and your abilities. They have always been there to support me academically or to be a listening ear when things got a little too much. They understood that a work/study balance is hard, and they will support you through it. I could not be more thankful and grateful for this college. They are the reason I have not given up on my dream. Blackburn College has helped me achieve a first degree and have even encouraged me to go for my masters. If you choose Blackburn College, you will not regret it. It is an amazing college and university with lovely small classes and fantastic tutors.

Great

The tutors here are fantastic they support you in whatever way they can. They believe in you even when you dont believe in yourself. They help you see that your goals are reachable and they are always there to support you wheather that is uni or in personal life. They make sure you achieve whatever you set out to achieve.

I love the way the course could work around normal life such as work and other commitments. I liked how moodle was updated consently so if you were unable to attend a session they would have everything online. I love how they respond quickly to any emails.

Good experience overall as I was taught by outstanding tutors who got to know me as a person and therefore were able to support my individual needs. I would recommend the course for the individuals who would want to pursue primary teaching.

A good environment to be in and supportive tutors always at hand for advice

I am very impressed with the level of support I received and the feedback was always positive with areas for improvement guided by the tutor making it possible for me to better myself.

I would have preferred to be taught how to plan lessons and hopefully be observed teaching them during the course of the year.

I was already employed during my course but my tutors worked very well with the school by accommodating them during observations
