Guildford College

Ignore Mario Pena' review - an ex-member of staff who was fired for severe incompetence in his practices, taught me for a year in fact. This college is great though - at least for the subject I studied. I'm not sure about other courses, but I have never heard anybody complain about the college.

I believe this college is meant to be great for education aspects and don't get me wrong that's great but the reason for this one star is for the way students who drive to college and park on site are treated. Giving students fines and refusing appeals how is this fair on people who are trying to attend an education. 100 pound a time. A better system should be used.

Well well well... First of all, I got enrolled onto the wrong level IT course. They put me on the level 2 and 1 month later looked at my GCSE grades again and put me onto the level 3 course meaning I was about 5 weeks behind the rest of the class. Also, they keep changing the timetable so a lot of the time I have no idea where my lesson even is. I am writing this in the library where my class has been sent to finish our game making assignment (This room doesn't have the right software that allows us to do our assignments which are due today). Wouldn't recommend this college.

A very supportive college with helpful and understanding staff. They will guide you in your education and give you the support you need, unlike a lot of other 'higher status' colleges in the area that will just leave you to it and expell you if you're not likely to achieve high grades as to keep their status up. If you're looking for a place that will make sure you learn then go here. I studied here 4 years ago and have had a good career ever since.

Very nice and helpful staff members. The best college I've been to, with the best of its Supported Learning Department. Perfect for students with disabilities and learning difficulties!

Watch out for parking fines!!!
I had a permit but got fined for parking in the college car park :( It’s not clear where you are supposed to park at all. They obviously make £ from confusing students.

Educational Institutions who providing Disappointed and Confused

Messy Administration

Went here for a two tasters, first off all the tutor for travel and tourism was incredibly friendly and a very nice man. I also had one for catering and hospitality, still surprises me that the college would have me come in for 2 tasters on the same day. The tutor running the catering and hospitality was so rude. When I arrived after lunch she was like ‘WHY ARE YOU LATE!’ Earlier on in the day I went in with a support friend as I was scared to come in (I have autism)and the lady on reception said she will pass on a message. (Which she did not) At the same time the group for travel and tourism said oh it’s this way. In my session I got a phone call and a voicemail from the lady as I’ve raised above saying ‘why aren’t your here’ I won’t recommend comming here go some where else. She also seemed not to care when I was asking for directions out of the college. She was like oh it’s this way you’ll find it, look for the way out signs. Luckily someone else showed me the way out.
