EKC East Kent College - Broadstairs

I would not recommend this college to anyone looking for a well-structured and properly delivered course. I completed the Computing T Level course, and it was nothing like what was advertised. Lecturers frequently failed to turn up, leaving students without guidance. The work experience component was supposed to be 315 hours, yet we were only given three weeks to complete it, forcing us to rush through it with little benefit.

The T Level exam was cancelled multiple times due to poor planning, as the college failed to check the system before exam day. Even worse, the same issue caused the exam to be cancelled again the following year. This level of disorganization is unacceptable.

A major part of the course involved coding, yet we were not taught this aspect at all. This had a significant impact on our grades, and many students ended up failing because of the college’s negligence. Most lecturers did their best with the limited resources they had, but there was no structure or clear planning in place.

The only positive was that the staff were friendly, but they were far too laid-back. This lack of discipline led to students losing focus, with some skipping sessions altogether.

Overall, this college failed to deliver on its promises, and I feel like my time was completely wasted.

I recently finished 3 years doing a poorly run IT course. I felt that lecturers expected students to know everything. On some days the lecturers were late or wouldn't turn up at all. The best part of the day would be going to the fish and chip shop for lunch. I was truly shocked when they said that we had to get 315 hours of work experience done in like 4 or 6 weeks and there is actually more of a chance to communicate with a ghost than anyone at the college.

I recently completed the T Level Computing course (Digital Production, Development, and Design) at Broadstairs College, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. While the lecturers were nice, friendly, and genuinely tried their best with the resources they had, the course itself suffered from significant issues.

The program was plagued by constant staff changes, poor management, and a lack of resources, which severely impacted the quality of learning. The exams were also poorly organized, making the overall experience messy and frustrating.

I believe the course has potential and each course is different, but it requires better planning, consistent staffing, and adequate resources to provide students with the education they deserve.

This is my fourth year as a client at the hair salon. Another excellent haircut, thank you. This term the level 3 students are coaching the level 1 students so as a client you get attention and guidance from both as well as the tutor, Tina, monitoring. The deputy principal was talking with students and clients today. . I highly recommend the service (only available in term time). It is really good value with the price only going up once in four years.. thank you ladies, see you in December.

Really lovely venue for celebrating birthdays/weddings. The food was good if not exceptional. Very clean and the bedrooms are spacious with excellent air conditioning.

Staff is nice. They told me to get out because it's apparently not a hotel. I was bad because it clearly was. I liked the food. I however got kicked out when an staff member came and told me that this was reserved for goers of the school. I don't know what that meant. Pretty poggers to be honest. 1/15. Pretty bum innit.

(Talking about the Dover campus)
Its an alright college however the staff are not so good. I have autism and then had an issue with the staff due to my autism. There was really only one member of staff but they were dedicated trained to help autistic pupils. Instead of retraining their staff they decided to go with the easy option of kicking me out. They then said they would allow me back in in September however they have ignored ALL of my applications. Go somewhere else if you can.
