Andover College

Went to the college today for a one day course and asked the receptionist where I had to go and she said you should remember where to go and they know i have moderate learning difficulties. Would never recommend them to anyone

This college is absolutely terrible with attending myself and my younger brother now attending currently. A teacher grabbed and man handled my brother all because he didn’t have his lanyard! I called the college to complain and the staff were extremely unhelpful and unapologetic, it didn’t really seemed like they cared! So if you care about your child’s well-being do not send them here.

Amazing college, helped me progress through and finish all 6 courses. Good teachers and good support system.

Perhaps the best place to study ever. The staff was incredible and gave me a massive support throughout all the year. I would like to thank Aaron, Paul R., Paul L., Anjie, Kayleigh, Sharon L., David, Nikki, Ben and everyone else that was part of this journey with me. Thank you for all your hard work, and thank you for assisting me to achieve my goals and go to University. I highly recommend this college!

I had a fantiastic time at Andover College, I studies four A levels there for 2 years (Media,English,History and Photography) and have never met such supportive staff in my life. There's such a community feel around the campus as the relationships between both students and staff is so relaxed and friendly which made it a really fun place to learn in. During my second year I struggled to get in for a lot of my lecturers due to personal circumstances and my lecturers made the effort to Skype me in to their lessons when I was unable to attend in person and give me evening and weekend tutoring which was incredible, and is a really a credit to them as I left college last year with A,B,B,C! :D I would highly recommend this college to anyone and it just keeps getting better and better!

I went to this college to study Hair Dressing in Level 1 we were forced to do Beauty therapy as well as Hair Dressing. Which was very frustrating! The hole year was disorganised especially in PSD (Personal Social Development), which was not at all related to Hair Dressing. We had to restart the hole year of PSD 6 weeks before the end of the academic year and had to rush all the work in order to pass which was mainly our tutor writing and us copying as there wasn't enough time to finish otherwise. When going on to the second year I was unsure as to go on to another year of stress and disorganisation but was assured it would be different for the following year. I applied to go back and it got a bit better but still lacked in areas. We were made to go over and over the same thing we had learn the year before and the same things we had just learn. I felt so confused in theory and only just managed to pass some exams some I didn't. I didn't feel that we were able to get help easily instead when pointing out some concerns it started an argument with a very childish lecturer Debbie. Help was never at hand and I felt lost throughout my time there and felt as if I should quit the course before I failed anyway. I was again reassured that I would as long as I turned up. At the end of the year I didn't have enough time to finish and had two theory assignments remaining. I returned the assignments when finished. I finished college June/July time and I have only received Maths and English certificates and my PSD certificate from my first year! I still have not received my Hair Dressing certificates and when I called to ask where they were I was told all certificates were accounted for and to call again in 3 weeks if still not received! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE! STILL NO CERTIFICATES! PREPARED FOR LIFE! HOW AM I EVEN SUPPOSE TO GET A JOB WITHOUT CERTIFCATES!! JOKE JOKE JOKE! NEVER GO HERE!
