Please DO NOT attend if you do not want to waste your time. My grades were locked by my tutor before I finished submitting work, capping me at triple P. To make matters worse, I haven’t received the overall grade for the qualification, where it is still showing as ‘awaiting results’ when Results Day was YESTERDAY. There is no direct way of contacting the college, only one measly ‘exams’ email which they don’t even monitor as much as they should considering it’s Results day, and which also states that they’ll get back to me in five working days. No way of entering clearing seeing as my grades haven’t even been released to UCAS (probably not something the college caused; instead it being the flaw of Pearson, the exam board). Cost me two years, should have just stuck to A levels.

If you want to study Uniformed Protective Services, this college is the right choice. Excellent lecturers 10/10 will always support you.

Absolutely ridiculous college, discrimination is the number 1 quality that this college should be awarded for.
Poor management , particularly in case of complaints they do absolutely nothing they don't care at all, when someone is on annual leave there's no one to help and take care of what they were supposed to do.

For Access students, teachers were not knowledgeable and the quality of teaching was poor, in my group we always had to watch videos in our own time to learn the lessons.

Grading for access students, teachers partially follow OCN guidelines they grade you by comparing how the rest of the class have done in the test as they say " we can't give distinction to everyone ". The grading is somehow different for those who want to study medicine and teachers are way more generous when it comes to giving grades to those students.

Overall the worst college I have ever studied at, I have studied in 3 different colleges in London but this college was certainly the worst one. I wish I could give them 0 star

Worthless to try to contact or get hold off. They never communicate any changes they make to the college to us and we were forced to find out through other students. Extremely unorganised with events and especially the final A level exams with different invigilators telling us different things, being told the rooms and seats last minute. Overall a very unstructured and unorganised college which lacks the passion to help young adults through this stressful episode of their lives.

Hello, I’m a 20 year old female studying at the moment at CANDI.

I’ve been here since 2019. Studying BTEC Level 3 Biomedical Science second year (finally last year) at the Angel Campus (CAS) right now. In 2019, I liked it. Teaching wasn’t great nor bad, but the teachers/subject tutors, from my year in Level 2, were more involved with the students and that’s what I really enjoyed about this college. Since I’m doing BTEC Level 3, it has been horrible. Teachers not caring at all about the student’s well being, when teachers receive feedback, they don’t care or try to understand (they act like we’re children of 12 years old and therefore don’t listen to the students), a lot of the teachers have a Master’s or PhD degree, but don’t know how to teach us, which I find a bit concerning. Several students of all groups in BTEC Level 3 Biomedical Science second year (2021-2022) have complained about this to staff that should represent students and react to those in need, but so far, nothing has been done (and I assume nothing will ever happen). I cannot wait to finish my exams in May and get out of here.

The final straw I had with this college was when I didn’t bring my homework (which was informed online), that I couldn’t do because I had no access to online college facilities, including my college email and therefore didn’t even know I had homework to do for that particular subject. I had no access, because the college has a lot of ICT problems (so it wasn’t even my fault). The teacher of this subject told me that “I was not worthy of being a college student here” and that I should be “grateful to even step a foot in this building”. As a foreign student, I find this very discouraging to hear and upsetting, as I come from a country where these kinds of people are not acceptable nor tolerated in any types of educational institutions/systems.

I hope that future students will have a much better experience with this college than I did. Do not recommend it for anyone.

I took a course in crime scene investigation a few years ago. The college is really good, teachers are very intelligent and knowledgeable. Unfortunately I was unable to complete the course as I found it to difficult With no previous knowledge of science. Risa Brandl was the lecturer who is a very good teacher and has great enthusiasm and Commitment. The college has Reasonably high standards and is a decent place to 📖 study!
