Bridgwater and Taunton College

I was yesterday Friday with my daughter requesting information for the English courses, we were totally delighted and grateful for the attention of the reception girls and especially Mrs. Fiona, who collaborated with us with great patience, respect and kindness.

They are shocking due to family breavment I was only able to complete one assignment on my distance course yet they are hounding me £200 pound beware they won't support you just take your money and do very little to earn it. I will be making sure this situation is made public

Absolutely unbelievable my grandson has additional needs and has an ECHP we were told he would be well supported at college. After a year we were told it wasn't the place for him . I was told measured would be put in place for him to carry on with his education. That was in March 22 it's now September and nothing despite dozens of emails and false promises.
Staff seem to be constantly changing and the principal unreachable.

Nice well laid out college with lovely staff.

I would not recommend my son was on a 2 year apprenticeship with remote learning and only had a handful of lessons.Initially they had technical problems which went on for months before any learning started.Also never visited his place of work although kept saying they would.
He finished his course early as his employer offered him a job . I informed the college never had a reply.
Shocking

Very thankful for the opportunity to do an administration course with this college. They were very supportive throughout the whole time, as I had a newborn and they were understanding of some missed deadlines.

Lv2 electrical installation- Construction and Civil engineering is a absolute shambles of a sector. Started the course one year ago, fully paid out of my own pocket. Been through 5 lectures, the whole year constant no shows for classes and excuses as to why people aren’t turning up for their job. Further to the complete incompetence by the head of departments for not actually reaching into the funding pocket and bringing someone in up to the job for the rest of the year or sooner. And when they finally find someone fit for the job 6 weeks to the end of the course/exams he’s gone as well. Out of the whole class one kid had sense to leave in the first two weeks and two gents who’s company paid for it couldn’t handle the stress and hassle and pulled out month in.
Honestly if you’re thinking of taking your child to this college, save yourself the hassle and put them in an apprenticeship, ideally not though this college, go through Yeovil/wells; especially any trades electrician, plumber, chippy. I don’t want anyone else making the mistake i have.

Good college, great community & the music department is really good here. They don’t just care about getting you a pass in music but actually try to get your music out there on the radio and proper music opportunities in the industry.
