I'm currently doing a course here, and my advice? Look elsewhere.
An esports course, that doesn't allow you to install steam. Esports. That doesn't allow the biggest game store to be downloaded, on Computers that were brought, for esports. This sounds dumb, right? How else can you do a course about it then? You can't. You get lessons where teachers attempt to teach, but don't understand that because of these issues, you can't download it. Teachers that don't listen + computers that have been screwed over = a wonderful working environment.
You also have a game design unit in the course, where you can't install the most popular game design software. Want to make something? Have fun with scratch. (If THAT is not blocked) nevertheless, I cannot wait untill June, as that will be the time i leave this place, and try to find something that will actually be worth the time and money to do, as this place made me relapse. Thank you, North hertfordshire college.

Went to college to do my H&SC Level 2, came out with good grades and went onto Level 3 and same again. All thanks to my amazing tutors, the motivation and support they gave me to get through the course and to achieve my goals and dream. I am now about to start my university degree to become a registered midwife at University of Hertfordshire!!

I attended Lev-2 in Counselling skills. It was a good experience. We get emails and responses at the staff's preferred times. Apart from that, it was a good experience. The class rooms were decent enough.

This collage is a joke. the higher up staff seem to have a lack of care for the students. one of the staff here by the name of Rakhee` has a stuck up attitude and should not be in charge of as much as she is. i have asked her to help me multiple times and her complete lack of care shows when i asked for help with my teams TWICE and never got it fixed. this meant that i could not submit my assignments. when i finally got my teams fixed. i informed Rakhee that i would submit a past assignment and she showed a complete lack of professionalism by responding with "we look forward to receiving the assignment that was due in December tonight" her complete lack of professionalism makes me ashamed to call myself a student of this collage. and i know I'm not the only student who feels this way. save yourself the mental damage and DO NOT COME HERE.

Julie is great. She is a very hard worker and head of the Access department. I was a student and achieved a place at a Russel group uni because of the amazing job her and the other staff do.

If you put in the work they will give you the opportunity to succeed.

I did an Extended Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science at NHC. Finished in July, 2015.
I found the course content was delivered really well by the teachers, There are lessons for independent learning which are useful for students that just want to get on with their assignments. The teachers are friendly and sociable. As an older than average student at this college, i was more independent which is probably why i thrived and succeeded here.
Qualified with a triple distinction, thanks to the help and guidance from tutors.

Worst experience ever, from beginning to end! At the beginning, teachers' gave lectures for the first couple of weeks to keep students satisfied. Then as we settled in, we were left on our own, expected to get on with our own work without a lecture. Teachers' would run after students' who didn't bother turning up to lessons and forget about those who wanted to aim high! Poor teaching!! Don't even know how these people teaching can have a status of a teacher when they fail to explain something students struggle to understand! The whole year students' who submitted work on time and were prompt to lessons were not respected as you would have thought submitted work would have been marked on time and given back on time for improvements to be made, but NO! Everything on the teachers' behalf done to the last minute, even results at the end of the year were given late- and that too not by the tutors'; students' had to contact the college and some how find their way through of getting their results to inform universities. Absolutely useless!! A typical college really where most students mess around for fun and attention, and teachers' have a bad reputation of being careless, disrespectful and disorganised! Many students' on totally different courses have had experienced bad teaching and were not at all pleased with the college! Worst of all, the college of 4000-5000 students' have one person to help with UCAS application!!! Would NOT recommend the college to anyone, instead stay away from it! Feel deceived as the college induction day all tutors and teachers' made the college seem good and attractive. So very upsetting that a place of education can be so deceiving- teachers' leaving instantly without notifying students' so again we were left hanging off a thread to understand what we needed to do to complete the course. Teachers' careless about students' potential especially those who are able to aim high but need guidance. Teachers' not owning up to their own faults; instead throwing it on to students' - how immature can a grown individual get?! Shame that the reputation of the college is so very poor, worst than other countries with minimal resources, yet the money put in to build the place is immense and the place does look very pleasing. Just speaking the truth of what had been experienced by many students' at north herts college. Would recommend the college take these reviews on board to improve their reputation in the country because looks of a college don't last forever!!!
