Hertford Regional College

everyone seemed lovely and genuine when i went for my interview, was offered a place for September. a month after the offer i receive a letter telling me i haven't been accepted even know i already had the offer in writing, both came from the same member off staff that interviewed me. they have been avoiding all my attempts to contact them, terrible college.

Horrid place! Electrical lecturers are evil bullies and this needs to be addressed I doubt it would but leaving this review hoping someone will pick up by the government asap and remove the evil before is too late. You'll have a degraded, rotten, and not fit-for-purpose education system if harassing lecturers get their way. This is the impression I got from my first and last visit to HRC. From what I saw I suspect that harassment of students could happen there hence a rapid investigation needs to happen or consider closing down such useless, money-wasting places. It's far better to learn on the internet and leave bullies to die out. Driving to the place? Be aware that there is a big road entrance disheveling on the way in and out of this place! Not to mention that was invited but visitors' parking was full! Inside the building, there are narrow stairs and dirty workshops; not a clean environment - not allowing for ventilation as windows are kept shut before and during the class.

I'm writing this review based on my experience at Ware campus a few years back, the course, tutors and facilities were great, but I saw a side to the system of college funding when I decided to leave due to personal reasons, made me feel like a cheque what the government gives the college for each student rather than a valid person. Not the colleges fault, but seemed all a farce in keeping you there for the money circumstances rather helping you with the facilities "available" to help you progress with the course. All in all started well, but like all things, always comes down to money.

All staff helpful and smile face. Last year I got English course. Yes useful to me, but in week just 1 day not enough. Maybe this year must be 2 or 3 days. Other colleges are giving English lesson 3 days in week. Why our course just one day?

I absolutely loved it here especially doing child care as its a nursery right next to it and also has all the child care facilities when you go into each classroom. So much better than what it was when I did it at Harlow college 5 star for HRC!!

Was refused entry to my English in the first year for being 5 minutes late, teacher made me stand outside the door like a mug for 20 minutes opened the door and complained that I was 30 minutes late and it was pointless me contributing to the lesson. If you think that's bad you should've seen her face when I said to her "I'm going McDonalds cya miss"

As an adult signing up for an adult course. I think it's rediculas that you can't complete a form unless you fill in the part about parent/carer. Should be optional. I get young adults but not someone in their 30s

Receptionists are so patronising. Information centre ladies are even worse. Staff seem a bit bias too hm!! Names not hidden.

Even thou the college itself ain't bad, like it's kept very well by the staff and cleaners.. The teachers act like they can't be asked to work there.. I put forward interest in a course to be told that I applied for the wrong one and the one they recommended me wasn't on the website

Course was cancelled due to lack of interest, disappointing. Then they return the payment by cheque - a redundant method and a pain as instead of refunding my debit card which would have been minimal hassle, I now have to make a trip to the bank
