Leeds City College

I went here on an Open Event last week, and I can say that the information that they gave you wasn’t very good. They only had a couple of leaflets to give out. I still know as much information at what I knew before, apart from where it is.
Also, the location is quite poor to find at first, but I reckon it won’t be as hard to find if you study here.
These are my opinions about the place, and depending on what people want to study, the ratings will differ.

Currently I’m doing a Painting Class at Park Lane College. The Facilities are brilliant in the class and the tutor is enthusiast. The Classes cost £27.50 for 10 weeks of classes plus you get a student card Yippee.

I did a part-​time German language beginners’ course at Park Lane and it was a lovely experience all round. The teacher was very competent and helpful, a native German speaker but fluent in English, and the other students were nice and keen on the subject too. I often find that signing up for evening classes is all very well in the first flush of enthusiasm, but after a month or two fatigue kicks in and enthusiasm wears off. That’s when the quality of the course makes a big difference to a student’s commitment to completing it. I enjoyed this course enough so that I always had that extra bit of motivation to attend every class.
Oh, and I passed with no problem — although now I’ve forgotten every word of German I ever learned!

Nice college with a wide range of subjects available. The tutors were very nice.

Having recently decided to return back to education as a slightly more mature student I am happy that I chose Park Lane.
With the opportunity to take many different courses from GCSE’s to A-​levels and BTEC’s there is something here for everyone.
The building is modern and although rather daunting due to the size it is relatively easy to navigate your way around. There are normally staff or people who can direct you. There is disabled access at the entrance as well as a lift which can be used by everyone throughout the college. Which is helpful if you aren’t very good on the steps.
The library is well stocked with a variety of books, which you can lease 6 of at once. There is also computer access with a printing quota which is topped up each term. There are group meeting rooms and group computer area’s too.
In the main foyer you have the student union, liason and welfare offices. If you study at Park Lane you can get a NUS card which will qualify you for discounts at lots of places.
