Eastleigh College - Eastleigh

Honestly, the course I did here was pretty good, I've learned a lot from it and my tutor was really helpful throughout the entire thing, but the rest of the staff were not so helpful. We had little to no communication about anything over the 2 years, barely knowing when the start of each term was. And the safeguarding team is a joke also. They prevented me doing the perfect work experience due to a tiny little detail that was out of my control, and it wouldn't even affect me at all! It's been nothing but self sabotage on the college's part for the 2 years. Please consider if the lack of administration competence is worth tolerating before enrolling, I would have been better off elsewhere. I would like to thank Dom and Trevor for their time teaching us, but no thanks to the other staff (other than the I.T team who were brilliant)

Also, just attempted to sign out today and they couldn't even do that yet for some ambiguous reason, they suggested we come back later in the week but that is definitely not happening. Goodbye Eastleigh College, and good riddance!

The course itself was helpful and added knowledge to a field I wanted some more information on; however luckily I was able to navigate it all by myself as the communication from my tutor was poor. The course is comprised of four units and I had completed and submitted 3 of them (and was one week away from submitting the fourth) before I received any feedback on the previous submissions - and I only received that because I complained.

Then after complaining about the lack of communication, and having my work speedily reviewed - I didn't hear another word for 6 months when I was mistakenly emailed about a course I was not even partaking in - and I managed to chase up receiving proof of my qualification through that member of staff.

I have now received a digital version of my qualification and will be leaving it at that. I won't be using Eastleigh College as an online study option again.

Stop telling your students across the college every college is the same as Eastleigh college It
really isn't. (you're trying to keep students onto your course)

I wasn't enjoying Eastleigh college. I then moved colleges and now I am having the time of my life and much more freedom.

Seriously majority of colleges are different.

Eastleigh College are also not friendly on EHCP students on main courses (won't provide the support) while other colleges do provide that support.

Aswell you still got my Information stored on your system after I kindly request to delete my data under data protection act 2015.

Get your act together or I will genuinely sue this college last warning!!

Aswell moving away from Eastleigh college to another college I know fully well how colleges operate now and I know 100% you're twisting / breaking the law.

--TO ANY CONCERNED PARENTS/Students--

Outside Eastleigh college there is a bus stop where service C7/C17 to Brockenhurst college a much better college I would suggest looking into that college as I'm much happier there and since there a bus outside this embrassing place just use the bus to brock college

I’ve just left eastleigh college and was there for 3 years. The tutors are completely unprofessional and would comment on the students they didn’t like to other students making it a very uncomfortable, playground like experience. There is a lot of favouritism between tutors and students, making it very unfair for the other students. If you have any mental health issues I highly recommend that you avoid this college at all costs. Mental health isn’t taken seriously and all they care about is whether you have attended your lessons. Now I would say this is just a personal experience but I’ve spoken to at least 5 other people who have also agreed the college is appalling.

okay not gonna lie about eastleigh college the college is very garbage I had a number of stresses there even in 2021 2022 and 2023 and 2024 to this day and now... even with the teachers and besides them telling me to stop storming off I cannot help it it will always repeat itself again and again anyways...the college itself is just like a prison to me I wish I can just reverse my choice wether if I want to stay at the college or do I want to leave I know if I say I will leave this college behind meaning I would leave my friends behind so I had to go for the other option to prevent that issue otherwise I would remain totally stuck indoors on my own with little to nothing to do I seen a lot of complaints to this college and so I might as well complain as well and besides I stand aside with the people who hate eastleigh college

I am an older apprentice in foundation accounting. It was all very daunting going back to college and completely changing my career, but the people at Eastleigh college made this very easy. My tutor is particularly encouraging and will always explain over again with patience or give me more work to consolidate my learning. Her support is amazing. My work place tutor is also extremely encouraging and positive in her outlook and support of me. I very much enjoy being at college and studying with a wide range of ages . I feel very empowered and supported by my class members and particularly by my tutor Emma.

I have visited the Avenue Hair and Beauty Salon multiple times for different hair treatments including cuts, bleaching, root regrowth and deep conditioning. The students were great, the prices are incredibly cheap and you get a really professional result. I unfortunately live in London now so can't visit but this is one of the best places I've had my hair done. It's all supervised by a tutor but most of the students are working in professional salons part time anyway.

Eastleigh college advertises itself as apprenticeship "experts". However this is not delivered as promised.

Originally studied to become electrician, first 2 years were waste of time, many people dropped out. Level 3(3rd year) C&G was more challenging and more electrical related. Level 3 teachers at that time had a lot of previous experience in industry and passionate about what they teaching, which was very helpfull.

During that time we got our CV sorted out for our potential employers and further career, I personally sent my CV to one of the apprenticeship experts in Eastleigh college to pass it to employers.

After finishing Level 3 I ended up looking for apprenticeship myself, but no luck.

I ended up doing Access to HE course to join university and this is the course I recommend mostly. It is really well designed course, with exceptionally good teachers.

For my individual case, Eastleigh college did not progress me into employment nor career hence 2 star rating. However I can highly recommend doing Access to HE course if you want to join university.
