What our Students Say

CherokeeLevel 3 Furniture ProductionI like how practical the course is and the tutors teaching
methods can be helpful to students that learn differently.
The facilities and equipment are very good and you're
supplied with mostly everything you'll need.
MaizieLevel 3 Furniture ProductionColchester Institute provided the exact course I wanted to
pursue with good facilities, workshop space and tools.
I have been offered support finding work experience as
well as applying for various opportunities next year.
JordanLevel 1 Carpentry and JoineryThe staff are friendly and professional, and the facilities
are the best around. The college is welcoming, with a
strong sense of community. After college, I hope to
become a scenic carpenter, building sets for Theatre.

as they said it was the best place for me. My tutors have all
been helpful and the College has great facilities with all the
hand toolsand machinery we need to use and access.
