Boston College - Boston

Not the best college !
This college is terrible for taking on students on courses such as Electrical for example knowing they can’t deliver the level 3 course that follows on from the level 2 course. Therefore you spend nearly two years on a course while not knowing there’s no level 3 course to get finished & qualified. I’ve spoken to 4-5 people who have taken on this course over the past 10 years and all said the same thing, some had to change full time employment to do days with the kids to get level 3 done while others who only could do evening course had to travel to Newark & Lincoln college.

The electrical department staff were great tho especially Brian the manger who is now at Lincoln and Dave who is currently still at Boston, looking back if I had to start the courses again knowing what I know I’d select Newark/Lincoln college over Boston as they have the staff & course access to deliver level 2, Level 3 & your 2391 testing & inspection. It’s further to travel but you don’t get messed around at Newark/Lincoln.

The Eden restaurant is well worth a visit. You do need to book. The food is fantastic, great value as it's a training restaurant so you get fine dining at fast food prices. Recommended!

Horrible college
Got forced to drop out of a course because they didn't have any support for there students, I honestly don't recommend this college at all!

Shambolic college ! This college is terrible in regards to running courses with no progression past your first course! Electrical Installation is a perfect example, they offer you the level 2 while promising they will deliver the level 3 after level 2 but then for one reason or another they don’t run the level 3 course and let so many people down not to mention waste 18 months of people’s life’s that sit the level 2 with no further courses available! They did this back in 2014-2015 & again for my second time in 2018-2019 therefore if your persistent in getting fully qualified you have to source your future education elsewhere ie Lincoln college two nights per week for over 2 years! Shoddy college, lack of communication from the staff within the offices, waited three months for a email that never turned up which forced me to further my education 40 plus miles away for two evenings per week for over two years ! I think I’ve said enough ! No support in helping level 2 students with finding other colleges either.

Knowledgeable, helpful and encouraging staff from the year I spent there. Learned a lot from their teaching skills and has put me in good stead for university. Excellent patient tutors who are genuinely there to help and share their knowledge of the subject.

The facilities are basic but functional without any pretence.

Open Evening. Truly wowed!. Helpful and knowledgable staff and students. Amazingly large college, very up to date technology. Ample parking and easier to get to around.

Great teachers, very supportive and understanding. Most staff around the college are pleasant to deal with, however there is a woman at receiption that acts as gatekeeper and will refuse and say she can't do something in assertive tone despite the fact that when i go another time when any other member of staff is there, they magically were able to help.

Very pleasant place to study. The facilities are very good too. Our tutor is very patient with us as we are 'mature' students. Ample parking available.
