“My daughter has attended platinum since she was young. Every performance they put together is excellent. The care and support they give the children is amazing.”

“Centre Stage is home from home, it's a place that enriches the lives of children and young adults. I have 2 sons that have been a part of Centre stage from the age of 4, my eldest is now in his late twenties and my youngest has recently turned 16. Centre stage has been an amazing platform for them both, they have developed with confidence not only in the world of Performing Arts, Dance, and music, but knowing who they are and striving to be their better self. I'm proud as a parent to be a part of Centre Stage family, none of this would be possible without the owner Carole Oshea, she has a carefully selected dedicated Team / staff you makes every child feel worthy and able irrespective of race, colour, disability etc. Her Team are an absolute inspiration to our children, their patience and passion for what they do so well is a testament to their commitment. Every child takes front of stage and has an important part to play. I would encourage any child to be a part of such a unique establishment. I'm a parent that has witnessed the talent that has be born from Centre Stage many moving on to Television, Theatre, etc. both in the UK and abroad, I myself have sat in the cinema and watched my son on the big screen. None of this would have been possible without Centre Stage. I would like to thank Centre Stage for the love, kindness and nurturing that so many children have been afforded during the many classes and productions which they have taken part in, our children have received a true blessing and will go on to be positive children of the future.

“My daughter really enjoys attending the school, she’s always made to feel welcome and part of the school and always has fun. The staff are very supportive and professional and always cater to my daughters special needs. Would definitely recommend this class to any children looking to develop their performing arts abilities.”

“The classes at the London Singing Institute are great. I am a beginner singer studying with Daria, and she has been incredibly patient and helpful to get me to achieve what I wanted. Definitely recommend taking up classes here!”

“Their online education portal has bundle of courses to upskill our business management skills. They also help students to get admissions in finest universities of UK.”

“I love attending PPAS every Sunday. Not only I enjoy assisting the kids but also enjoy dancing and performing on stage too. I want to say a massive thank you to all the Choreographers that taught me they are all so talented. PPAS has set my foundation with dance and love to see my progress. My Journey with dance is just amazing. I also enjoy the adults singing and drama over the years I attended. I started dancing with PPAS summer 2018 to present. Its my little dance family. Here is to many more years to come and many more performances!!!!!”

“I have nothing but praise for Stagecoach Leatherhead. Allison and her team are truly fantastic, dedicated and passionate. They are inspiring teachers who make sure that all children achieve their potential and have a great time doing so. My elder daughter was with Stagecoach Leatherhead for 8 years, my younger daughter is still there. It remains the highlight of her week! She has come on leaps and bounds in confidence, musicality, dance skills and acting skills. It is a school that caters for all abilities, from aspiring already talented performers to those with special needs, who may need a little more help and as such is truly inclusive.”

“My daughter was part of the ensemble cast in the Matilda Jnr show. The entire team were fantastic she loved every minute of her time and the show blew up all away. We look forward to joining the classes and hopefully she gets selected for another show in the future.”

“If you're serious about the craft of acting, then you should try the Meisner technique at least once in your life. I trained at one of the UK’s top drama schools, but since working with Robyn I’ve been able to access whole new levels of truth and emotional connection in my work. Robyn is an incredibly dedicated, passionate and gifted teacher who trained at the Neighbourhood Playhouse in NY and teaches the authentic Meisner approach. Classes are a safe friendly environment where you’ll be held to account in every moment of your work, and never allowed to settle for the general or untruthful. If you’re in doubt, give it a try - if I had my way every drama school in the country would have Meisner as its foundation!”

“I feel incredibly grateful to 360 arts for representing me within the industry. The team are wonderful, so supportive and welcoming, not to mention that they go above and beyond for you too. I cannot wait to further progress in my acting career, knowing that I am represented by the wonderful team at 360 Arts. Thank you for everything so far, and I look forward to building a long-lasting relationship with my agent at 360 arts management. You guys are incredible! x”

“Drama school was great experience for me. The acting lessons with Konstantinos are one the next level. Definitely recommend !”

“I am at Reynolds at the moment and I am loving every minute of it. Everyone is so kind and have all improved so much, in such little time.”

“I've just completed the body piercing course with Alex and am absolutely over the moon with the training I've received! Alex is both professional and down to earth with his approach which has left me feeling really confident and ready to start my piercing venture! You don't just get a great service here but make amazing friends too!”

“My 11 year old daughter has been attending Art-K for approx 3 years. She loves it. She's always liked art but it's now a passion. She's not overly keen on outside school commitments but Art-K is priority number 1. Kathryn is already laying the groundwork in place to prepare her for an art scholarship. Her school have picked up it too and placed her in an art scholarship group. Thank you for recognising and nurturing her talent, Kathryn. We are all sincerely grateful. Pete”

“I recently completed the 180 hour online course at the TEFL institute of Ireland and it was a great experience! This is the first time I have taken online training so I was apprehensive. However, platform is easy to use, both on a computer and in a telephone. The course content is well paced and engaging. I definitely recommend.”

“Great teaching skills, I have been to different trainings but Advance Careers offers more in-depth knowledge of the IT industry and practical experience making one confident to step out and work. The mentorship scheme and interview preparation also offers a different approach to the regular ones used. I highly recommend Advancecareers uk. It's learning environment and package offered are outstanding.”

“I was a student here from September 2020 to July 2021 doing a level 3 Business diploma. My tutor, William, was always very helpful as well as the Principle, Nicolas, who was friendly and always engages with his students. Thanks to them I was able to achieve a D*D* and heading to Uni this September. Although we were in lock-down during mid way through the course, I was still able to receive guidance consistently from William and Nicolas. They have helped me to become an independent learner. I highly recommend this college.”

“My daughters both go to lyric dance school on Friday afternoons. They have great fun, learn important skills like discipline and make their granparents happy by practising their dance move in front of them. End of year shows are a great day out for the whole family. I love how their teacher Michelle can be very nice but firm when they misbehave. Highly recommended as an after school activity”

“I am very happy for my course training and would love to recommend. Very professional and trained staff. Friendly and co-operative”

“My daughter joined in September 2018 and has progressed really well attaining 80% in her 1st grade 1 ballet exam in June 2019. Many thanks to a fantastic teacher, Maria who groomed my daughter for such a great success. I definitely recommend Lyric dance school to All.”

“I am grateful to be an LSME student. My two years of HND business study were spent in a lovely environment with excellent guidance from our Lecturer and the teachers. The administrative staff is also amazing and supportive. My two-year journey has been enjoyable. I took a year off, and when I considered returning, LSME was the first organisation that sprang to mind. I recently enrolled in the DET program (09/2022) and eagerly anticipated the start of the new academic year. LSME helps us with our Education so that we may effectively complete our Qualifications using cutting-edge technologies. Now I feel more informed and inspired to pursue my ambition. I can highly recommend LSME for your further study.”

“Fabulous theatre school with a fabulous team Lucy, Craig, Hannah, Sophie just to name a few really go above and beyond to ensure every child has fun and learns. Always opportunities to show of their skills and also to qualify in their chosen arts along the way. I wrote this review 4 years ago after my daughter having been at ATA for almost 4 years. She’s now been there almost 8 years and it is still the most amazing place. She gains so much confidence and skill from her classes and has thrived. She has gained LAMDA and IDTA qualifications in the plenty and is now a Grade 2. Sadly this is her final year due to us moving but she has loved every minute and we wouldn’t be without them. They not only are her teachers but they become an extension of the children’s families and help them not only with drama and musical arts but also support them when life is tough and they just need someone to listen. Thank you all for being the amazing team you are. We will truly miss you all. Xx”

“I have attended JAM2000 for almost 22 years and cannot recommend it highly enough. Judy and the rest of the team work tirelessly to provide incredible opportunities for all that attend, whether that's through performing in high quality dance and drama productions, performing at different events, or, getting the chance to work in TV and Film. It really is like a family and truly like no other performing arts school in the area.”

“I have been attending bodens for about five years now and in those five years I have learnt so many new skills. I currently attend their Saturday morning combined musical theatre classes from 10am-1pm and their tap dance classes on Mondays from 5pm-5:45pm. I also take part in Trinity musical theatre exams which I am very lucky and grateful to do. Bodens has given me many opportunities and taught me many things that I will use in everyday life and in the future. Being a student at bodens has helped my confidence grow massively. They never fail to produce incredible shows where every student is involved and having fun. All members of staff are lovely and are always nice . They encourage us to take risks in theatre and help us understand what life is like in the theatre industry. Not only are the staff kind, but the students are too; they are all very welcoming to new people and are always open to making new friends. I have really enjoyed every moment during my time at bodens so far, and I think other young people should get to experience this too.”

“I studied at this school in the advanced program and I am very happy with my experience. There was a family feel and I felt very supported while the teachings were of high quality. Some of our teachers also taught at some of the big drama schools and we were lucky to have them with us. The staff was always helpful and responsive. The year I spent there was one of the best times in my life and it prepared me very well for the demands of a professional acting career. I would recommend it to anyone!”

“My girls have been with DSPA for many years, they are not only learning dance and performance skills but learnning about commitment, discipline, dedication and much more. Thanks to Miss Elin and the dedicated teachers, they are growing up to be confident performers, thriving to be better each day.”

“A friend referred me to this college, Needed to get a security license, And have to say The staff was very accommodative from the start, especially the instructor, Mr Shahid, was very professional in classes and helped with work after the course as well. And now have an ongoing professional relationship. Will definitely be recommending to others as it was a very smooth experience.”

“Great studios and wonderful staff. We went on a Sunday, and we wanted to get some food and were told by reception their policy is no outside food, spoke the cafe and they said as there was a lot of us and the chef had just knocked off they don't mind. Also the reception were great just told us no as it was policy not because they were being awkward”

“My experience with Richdale institute started last year when I studied level 3 sports massage therapy. It was such a wonderful experience. The course was so well structured and the learning material easy to understand. we had a lot of support from our wonderful tutor. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had and she made the experience so enjoyable. As a tutor she is so attentive and supports her students to the maximum. After level 3 , I enrolled on level 4 ( which is about to end). I have learned so much at level 4 and I feel much more confident as a therapist. After graduation, I believe that I will excel in my field because the quality of teaching at Richdale is absolutely outstanding. I can’t thank my tutor enough for all the hard work she has put in to ensure we become competent and confident therapists . I will fully recommend this institute to anyone who is interested in complementary therapies, H T”

“I really enjoyed attending Loughborough University for my Masters in Security Peace building and Diplomacy. The staff are fantastic and the facilities are modern. Having such a well placed campus in London is going to be a real benefit to Loughborough University. The Olympic Park is a great setting. The government is planning on some excellent new development, in particular the V&A museum thats being built near the swimming pool. Close to the University are a number of fantastic cafes, bars and restaurants. The canal is nice to sit by in the summer, as is the park (like the main campus in the Midlands, there is a lot of green space). Unlike other universities in London - where you have a choice either pay a huge rent and be close to lectures or live outside the city and endure a long commute - Loughborough is different. I found a room, thats 15 mins away by bike that cost me 560 a month (plus bills). Saved myself a fortune! In all an excellent year with some great personal successes. I would highly recommend it!”
