studied General EnglishAvoid
I enrolled in the ILM Level 3 Diploma in Leadership & Management in January 2019 and applied for an Advanced Learner Loan to cover the £2,000 for the course fee. Tutor support and feedback is essentially non-existence. Finished the course in July 2019 but never received a certificate. Emails and phone calls to the College go unanswered. Did receive an email from them in October promising the certificates would be issued shortly. It's now 6 months after I c completed and still no certificate and now I'm stuck with £2,000 that I need to pay back for nothing. Course is okay but I've taken better courses on line for free and was issued certificate of completion.
I would avoid at all costs, they are only interested in taking your money, nothing else.

studied English Academic preparationIELTS course
I studied in City college last year with the goal of get the score I needed in IELTS (7.0) to go to University. I had the best experience here, teachers were very helpful, professionals, and all the material and content of the course was absolutely what I needed to achieve the score. Also the support that the staff give to their students is the best I've experienced in all the English courses I've done ( I've studied English in Chile, Australia and England) I absolutely recommend this school and specially the international department.
