Kensington and Chelsea College Testimonials

I LOVE this college because they provide a fair and informative service. They teach a wide variety of students and help them change for the good. They also have many oppurtunities for the students and help keep them off the streets for as long as possible.

I joined the BTEC First Diploma in Art and Design: Multimedia and Graphics which offered her the right balance of Art, Design and Graphics.
The course taught me how to work from a professional brief; it gave me freedoms and restrictions, but helped me to work under the pressure of deadlines. The course was interesting because there were people from different countries and of varying ages. You can learn a lot from so many different characters. Our tutor helped us to recognise what would suit us after our course and I am now on the National Certificate in Multimedia at the College and planning to go to University! I feel so much more confident and optimistic

I took the BTEC First Diploma in Art and Deisgn: Multimedia and Graphics.

The course was exactly what I've always enjoyed as a hobby, but never imagined that I could take it as a career. College was so different from school and much better. I would always recommend people going to college instead of sixth form because my experience was so good. The tutors treat us fairly and equally like proper adults. I have improved upon my painting and computer skills and also on my imagination, creativity and even communication skills. I was accepted onto the National Certificate in Multimedia and I now feel more confident about my skills and talents. I feel I may do very well in Higher Education with my new skills. Thank you to the tutors and the college for their support.

I chose KCC because it was my local college, and it had a good reputation as somewhere where you could study and not be too distracted by loads of other teenagers. The best bits of my course were meeting loads of new people, combining the 3 days studying at college with practical work placements 2 days in every week, therefore being able to put the theory into practice.

I am now working as a nursery nurse in the reception class of a local primary school. The highlight of working in childcare is when a child eventually is able to count, read or write and I know that I have contributed to that.


I am considering doing the Foundation degree in Early Years at KCC as a stepping stone to becoming a teacher or opening my own nursery but this year I am having a break from studying and enjoying my assignment free weekends!

I was unemployed after leaving school and decided to come to KCC for help in finding a job. KCC helped me pass my GCSE maths and E2E found me an apprenticeship role as an Executive Assistant and I am on my way to becoming a Business Executive.

If it wasn't for e2e I would still be looking for a job and wondering what I want to do with my life.

I enrolled on the CACHE Award/Certificate/Diploma in Childcare and Education straight from school. I was awarded a Learner Achievement Award this year.

My course offered me the opportunity to understand childcare and what it involves through written and investigative study, as well as research and practical work in my placement. It helped me to learn new skills and about myself and what I am capable of achieving.

I enrolled at KCC instead of doing my A levels. I was awarded a Leaner Achievement Award this Year.
The college as a whole has a really friendly atmosphere. Wherever you go there is always a friendly smile and ongoing support. My tutors were absolutely amazing. They were all intelligent people who really inspired me. Each and every one of them supported me throughout my course, through building upon my confidence and academic abilities.

I completed a Level 2 NVQ in Health and Social Care through Train to Gain and was also presented with a Learner Achievement Award this year. I never dreamt I would ever be awarded anything like this. I did not have a good education but thanks to KCC I am feeling good about the future!
