DO NOT ATTEND THIS COLLEGE if you want…

DO NOT ATTEND THIS COLLEGE if you want a career. One of two of the tutors are helpful but they are fighting a losing battle against the rest and management. No help is actually given in the support unit even though false promises are made. Staff lie and cover up for each others shoddy behaviour and work. Staff are very racist and have been caught on camera. If you want a decent education and future go ANYWHERE but Openshaw campus. Making a formal complaint gets you nowhere as actions and cover-ups are made behind the scenes. Worst college in Manchester

DO NOT GO TO THIS COLLEGE!!

DO NOT GO TO THIS COLLEGE!!! This place is a disgrace! My experience with this place has been terrible! If I could give zero stars I would!

The tutor we had for the first 6 months was shockingly bad. He could not explain anything to you without trying to make you feel stupid! He was eventually sacked but we were so behind on our course at this point that we have had to come in for extra study hours to catch up! (I’m an adult student)

There are regular fights on campus, I have seen and heard many of them in my short time here. There have also been many stabbings coming from and around the campus (check the M.E.N).

They will not provide any support for anyone neurodiverse (even with medical evidence) which is extremely discriminatory!

Your car is not safe in the car park. A fellow student had his windscreen smashed and even though they do have state of the art cameras covering the car park, they do not work and they did not have the incident covered! Over 8 weeks later my car was damaged by another car to the sum of over £500 and even though they had more than adequate time to fix the cameras after the first incident happened, they did not bother to get them fixed and again, did not cover the incident (how convenient for them).

They do not care about you or your study, they just need bums on seats to keep the money coming in!

DO NOT COME TO THIS COLLEGE!!!

DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO THE COLLEGE!!!

This college needs a thorough investigation from Ofsted!!!

Please be aware when they asking you for Next of kin "aka parent details"

Today, i'm writing this review to let applicant know what to aware of this application, it's about next of kin and i've putted "not specified" after i completed my application, the applicant manager asked me about next of kin details. this is something what i'm not expecting about. i expect to don't want to contact my parent details for some reason (for occasion as a part time, not full time course). if they call them they'll ruin my reputation. next time please explain why are you not putting parents details.

£6,000 fees but prepare for plastic rank teaching...

Attended the Manchester College to complete a Foundation Degree in 2014 at the Openshaw Campus.

Joke of a College with Higher Education system. Sure, their fees are £3,000 less but definitely not worth it. Tutors don't know what they are doing and allowed other students to cheat in the exams (Donald Entwistle is the dodgy tutor)

Avoid at all costs and go to a proper College/University otherwise you will have wasted your student finance/money on a dodgy shambles educational institute.

I have pages of things to write, but TMC has already stolen enough of my time and money.
