Martin said about the course: “The best part of studying at Tameside College was learning new skills and the brilliant learning environment. The teachers were amazing and would always offer help and support when needed. I would recommend anyone looking at studying HE to come to Tameside College”.
Melissa Arnaoutis studied the Certificate of Education with Tameside College and commented “For those looking to get into teaching, then I would definitely recommend this course. The teacher was fantastic and extremely helpful, and the college is such a relaxed and friendly environment to work in. My next steps now are to go into teaching, being a lecturer in hairdressing.”
Jackie Moores, Tameside College Principal, praised these graduates on their success: “It is a celebration of their dedication, determination and enthusiasm. As a place of learning it is satisfying for Tameside College to watch how the transfer of knowledge has helped them grow in confidence, ability and ambition.”
