Education and learning in Manchester

“My daughter is thriving at Stagecoach North Manchester. It’s a lovely supportive class which builds confidence and is most importantly fun. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Beth and her team if you’re looking for a performing arts class in Prestwich.”

“The Manchester College is the largest further education college in the United Kingdom. It is the largest provider of 16–19 and adult education in Greater Manchester. The origins of the college go back to the early 19th century St. John's Sunday school, a pioneering school for workers. By the 1950s this had evolved into St John's and Openshaw Technical College. Later mergers created the Central College Manchester which became The Manchester College of Arts and Technology in Manchester, while institutions in Central Manchester, Fielden Park, Arden and Wythenshawe merged to form City College Manchester. In 2008 these two combined to form The Manchester College. The Manchester College offers courses for school leavers, adults, higher education students, employers and international students. The Manchester College is based at many sites in the city: these include Moston, Abraham Moss Community School, One Central Park, Manchester Enterprise Academy, the sixth form of St Matthew's RC High School and Harpurhey in the North; Openshaw, Preston Street, Welcomb Street, Nicholls Campus in Ardwick[9] and the Manchester School of Building in the East; Fielden Park (Didsbury), Northenden, Wythenshawe Forum and Brownley Green Wythenshawe in the South; locations in the city centre include St John's in Castlefield, Lever Street, and Shena Simon Campus in Chorlton Street in Manchester city centre. As well as this, the college are due to build a new site on the old Boddingtons' site - opposite the Manchester Arena. The MOL division specialises in delivering professional development training programmes by flexible learning. MOL has existed for more than 30 years providing HR, management, estate agency, construction and electrical engineering courses. Many courses are delivered in partnership with professional bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) and the National Federation of Property Professionals (NFOPP). The Manchester College delivers learning and skills services to offenders in 42 secure establishments throughout England and in two probation areas. The services are contracted in both the private and public sectors to all categories of offender.”

“Dedicated to professionalism. My kids are a product of their hard works, with excellent results into top grammar schools in the Manchester city. My third child will definitely join them soon.”

“Great tuition centre, my sister was a student here and she received excellent GCSE grades. Would highly recommend.”

“Lorraine has helped me through so much this past year. She has helped me overcome childhood trauma and complex family issues and I cannot thank her enough. She goes above and beyond as a therapist, she does not only help you achieve what you went to therapy to do, but also creates a friendship like bond with you that helps you excel as an individual. I could not recommend her enough! Mimi Gachet x”

“Excellent jewellery making classes in a relaxed atmosphere with no pressure to produce something of Cartier quality (unless you want to). Gemma is a great tutor, very patient and explains things clearly. Lots of little shops/workshops to have a look at and a nice cafe too. Can be quite chilly inside so wrap up.”

“We love swimming with puddle ducks. My children started from an early age. It's a gentle programme that nurtures them through life saving skills.”

“The best sensory class there is! I should know, I have tried them all. Jen is incredible and makes every baby & parent feel so welcomed. The class has such a wide variety for learning new skills and accommodates a wide age bracket. We love you adventure babies & Jen xx”

“We’ve been going with my LB since he was a teeny baby and he loves the classes! He has learnt so much and he has developed so much in every way. He’s so much more confident and love going to this class. I’m gutted this is his last term and I know we will both miss it! I can’t recommend it enough!”

“We have loved the summer term at Bloom! My daughter has developed so much in such a short period of time. She now recognises and gets excited when she hears all the songs. Her favourite is the rainbow parachute!”

“Jen is perfect for the job. So enthusiastic and friendly. Great balance of story and play. Looking forward to coming back for another term.”

“Great for baby development. Very enjoyable for both mothers and fathers. I have taken my little one to bloom classes since he was 6 weeks old and loved it every time! I have tried other sensory classes and nothing was as enjoyable & engaging as the bloom classes. Highly recommend.”

“Best nursery in Manchester. Both my children have attended Paintpots from baby room until school. If future brings more children this is the only nursery we would attend.”

“I would like to thank you Dr. Rabia for my Facial treatment. She is an amazing person and she helped me a lot to understand the procedure of my treatment. Thank you again!”

“Sofia tutored my daughter through her 11 plus journey. She pinpointed the areas which my daughter struggled the most with and helped her become more confident in her abilities. Thanks to Sofia taking the time to prepare lots of useful resources such as past papers, my daughter was able to practice her exam technique. This was a big help in getting my daughter into the school we really wanted for her and she passed all 4 selective grammar school entrance exams. Would definitely recommend.”

“When you work with Louise she holds a space of complete loving acceptance of you which is truly genuine. A divine feminine healer meeting people and young people wherever they are on their personal journey and nourishing your soul.”

“Good place to study for those who do not want to study.”

“Well-structured 1 year accelerated GCSEs programme. Small classes enhance learning experience”

“I spent 2 months in EF Manchester last year and It was such a wonderful experience, so good that I made the decision to come back. Now, for 3 months, I'm doing an internship (other program they offer). The staff is really friendly and thoughtful (Diana and Krish are my favourites =D), they always make me feel like I'm at home. Weather and food are not the best, but all the people that you can meet absolutely make up for. Other important thing is the teachers, they are great, and if you follow the rule number one (Speak only in English) you can quickly improve your English. Every week there are different activities, so it's impossible get bored. And the last thing important for me, Manchester is located in the heart of UK, so it's really easy travel around =)”

“I studied my TA apprenticeship with Debbie B and Nicola H back in 2014! I want to thank you both for motivating me and pushing me to complete the course. I really appreciated your care, time and effort you both put in for me. I was made permanent by my line manager and have been at the school for 9years now. I am now looking to retrain in business administration and computing. I will be choosing Manchester college again as the tutors do care about their students. I'm unsure what campus you both are at or if you even work with the college anymore. I hope that the next tutors I get are as dedicated as you were to me and my achievement. I am eternally grateful to you both. I know it's been 9years but I hope you get to read this. I've been busy working hard and applying all the skills you both taught me. I am now finally getting to write this To thank you both!!”
