Barking & Dagenham College

worst college you could ever go to. even if you failed your gcses do not go to this college unless you do not care about your future. worst teachers are here, they are rude and not professional barely even doing work and they get biased towards students. do not come here unless you like to deal with unnecessary drama. only few teachers are nice but that does not compare to the rude ones count. horrible college with horrible teachers

Went to get my hair cut at Barking and Dagenham (rush green) college, fantastic service and the best prices ever.Everyone was really friendly and will highly recommend them.

this college is awful. teachers treat you like a joke, pick on the students that aren't as good as others, rub in your face that so and so is better than you, say they'll do things to help and never happens. they closed the google classrooms over a day early so i couldnt submit some of my work. they ignore emails. only good teacher in that college is clare warren, and she was on leave for majority of this year sadly.

I am a Muslim lady and am a student in this college yet I faced extreme racism from their member of staff , he kept laughing at me everytime I asked a question and sarcastically asked me “are you okay”, while laughing at me, it’s very disrespectful because as a Muslim lady I felt like he was being discriminative to me bcz of the way I was dressed in abaya . Very racist and very rude behavior .

I would like to thank you the college my son grown up here and The college always supported him and now he is going to university studying economics and we hope all the best for barking and Dagenham College and we are proud of the college and my Son and may God bless the leadership of the College

This College has stolen £2712 pounds from me!! They led me to believe I was taking a course and never registered my with Pearsons exam board then cancelled the course after one year keeping the money!! I started at Barking and Dagenham College doing a Level 4 HNC Construction and Built Environment Course in Sept 2022, Alan Burgess was Department Head of Construction whom I met at my induction day got me onto the course, I didn’t have the qualifications for this course I when to the college to apply for a level 3 but because of my experience in the industry Alan pushed for me to get onto the Level 4 my company was then made to pay in full on the day despite being told later by the admin office that this was not normal protocol. The course was also set to start in January, and he pushed for me to start in September also. Once I started, I quickly discovered that I was put into a class with people that had two units left and had been called back to finish the course. They then had an agency cover Polycarp Kidzu for Mohammed shah who was off on long term sickness, who assured me that the units where the same every year and we would start on them. Come January no new students had started, and my tutor had not returned a few weeks go by and Mohammed Shah had returned. He explains to me this would be a temporary measure and the college where in the process of hiring a new tutor so the work I had done would be marked by them when they start. I had Mohammed for the remainder of the year, and he marked one of my units which I never received a grade for and the other I was unable to complete due to him not arranging time to do the science experiment. Upon my return to the college, I discovered that I had no timetable and the college had cancelled my course whilst I was halfway through it. I then met with Karol Jones who suggested I apply to another college, and they would refund me one year throughout dealing with the college I also discovered that when I started, they should have registered me with Pearson the course provider and they should give me deadlines and specific assessments to complete throughout my course to which the college hadn’t they were pulling them from the example specification online which I later learnt is incorrect. They hadn’t even register me with them they have carried me through for the year and forgot about me as I am the only one in the class then cancelled me and washed their hands of me.

Got jumped a month ago by some girls in my year and got my phone stolen, for being accused of calling her friend fat, which I never did. I liked this college because I established an amazing friendship group, however be careful who you talk to there and who you meet, some people are really really really nasty. Unfortunately am not going back there, if your gonna send your child here, just make sure they are safe, I didn’t feel safe.
