Tell us about your overall college experience so far.
By far the college has provided an exquisite experience that of which is full of everlasting knowledge. Every time I walk out of the college I have learnt far more than I would if I were to teach it myself on the internet. Evidence of this is through a natural urge to personally research furthermore into which ever criteria that need be. Overall I do believe the college needs to remind itself within the power of inspiration. The college has to understand that when a student is mentally aspiring to a role model of any kind that they will act like their aspiration. Instead of maintaining the constant mindset of a student, the student indeed needs for constantly be reminded of their pure and honest reason as to why they are even bothering entering and learning music in HNC/D.
Job Prospects
How does your college make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
The college allows students to become aware of what it takes to become recognisable within the industry. To elaborate, the style of teaching embeds on the students to become heavily self aware in what they are and are not capable with by healthily limiting support after delivering a piece of information. This of course allows for the student to understand that what they want in life will only come to them by how much they will give back.
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
I admire the decision to teach the students within the course in the style of how an industry environment would take place. However the same positive of this teaching appears to be their negative. Students that are not of an academic background appear to be challenged by the 'intense' workload, however this is of course only in theory that such students simply need to practice their work ethic. However the course should specifically hold moments in sessions apart from TPA to assist such students within class, to constantly ask and reassure that the student who feel unconfident are indeed on track.

How good are your college's facilities?
Spectacular. In regards to the studios in which HNC/D students practice and work in for recording, a clear and attentive care to obtain and utilize high quality equipment is valiantly visible.
Student Support
How good is the support offered by the college? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
For students who are more than capable of handling such a bombastic work ethic the college appears to be a hub of ease and settlement to prosper into sub-subjects that the main course is gently linked into. However as previously mentioned, for students for feel to be incapable of time handling their new demanded working style, a closer look into personally asking as to why such emotions a clearly on repeat. Understanding that an industry standard version of teaching is preferred to naturally mould students to become furthermore fluent into their future environments... perhaps a lighter tone should be introduced for the first year (again, for students who feel pressured).

Overall my experience has been really good with the college. For future students I would advise they listen to what tutors advises and not to leave work to the last minute. I learnt this from year 1 I used to leave work till the last minute and it wasn't good as I used to rush and not get the grades I expected but gradually in year 2 I picked up my mistakes and achieveing the best grades to my ability.
