    • I’d heard Bolton College was excellent for teaching so I travel in from Blackburn. I’ve learnt a lot of different teaching techniques and I’ve made a good bunch of friends. I’d recommend this course; the mentors here are extremely helpful and the support I’ve had is exceptional.

      Rafia Patel - PGCE

    • The lessons are well prepared and the tutors put a lot of effort into the sessions. I always feel encouraged by the tutors and their detailed feedback has allowed me to progress in my studies. Everyone supports each other and my confidence levels have soared.

      Claire Grant - PGCE

    • This course is the perfect stepping before going to university to qualify as a Primary School Teacher. The course is fast-paced and you need to be on the ball, but the teachers are helpful and there are a lot of resources online to help when completing assignments.

      Louanna Hardman - Access to Teaching

    • Thanks to the course at Bolton College, I was able to secure my first teaching assistant job and I now work with pre-school children aged three to four, helping to support their learning. The course is really thorough, and I've learnt a lot about child development and Psychology, which I can put into practice in my job. I also find that I learn things in my job which I can then apply to my course - the two really complement each other.

      Samantha Nixon - Working with Children Level 3

    • The College is local so it made good sense to come here. My tutor has been a really good teacher, so I've enjoyed the course. The College is nice too, it's friendly and the classrooms are great. I always feel comfortable here so it's a good environment to learn in. I've particularly loved working with children and being in the school environment so in the future I'm hoping to get a permanent placement in a school. I'd definitely recommend this course to others.
