Working Men’s College

I am truly disappointed in the administration. I have paid in full amount and got a confirmation letter saying that I was accepted in the course but when i turned up on the 1^st day of my course, i was told that I am no longer listed for the course as it is oversubscribed and few people were «Off loaded» or if you are not enrolled early enough you are bumped off the course it seems. How bizarre as I had a proof that my full payment had gone through and the bank statement show the full amount was paid 2 weeks before the course started. I even phoned after paying to get a confirmation of the payment and proof that I was enrolled in the course which they have! but despite showing my e mails and letters i was still left without a course.
The process of the enroll system is corrupted in the WMC. I waited 1 hr to speak to someone, and nobody seemed to be in control as they were short staffed. The course might be cheap but you definitely paid for what you paid for. PLEASE DON’T GO TO THIS COLLEGE!!! There are better places then here.
I was left frustrated and disappointed as I moved all my schedule for 5 weeks to be on the course!
I feel for the people who were also «bumped off «or «off loaded» due to administration error.
Watch out for those who paid as when the 1^st day comes, as there are NO courses for you to enroll to.
Watch out for the Scam they play. Horrible college. Be careful. I hope they pay for my full refund if not I will take them to court.

I’ve done two quite different courses at Working Men’s College, first Spanish for 2 years, and now I’m learning to make Jewellery. The similarity between these two has been how much I have enjoyed my learning and what a difference it has made to my level of skills. All the teachers I have had have been absolutely fantastic, and the college has a lovely welcoming feel.

My daughter was the person who persuaded me to enrol for a computer course at the WMC. It was been the best decision I made. Since doing my Level 1, I have gone on to do Level 2, CLAIT and ECDL. I am now studying, Working in Administration Level 1 and hopefully I will enrol for Level 2 which starts in February. This is the friendliest Educational centre I have ever attended. The teachers build your confidence so much you can achieve anything you want They make the courses very enjoyable so it seems you are having fun rather than being taught. If you do not have much confidence or motivation I would advise anyone to take a course at the WMC. You can get expert help from the Learning Support Team which has a Careers Advisor, Welfare Advisor, Counsellor, Dyslexia Specialist and Language, Literacy and Numeracy Tutors. I never expected to achieve as much as I have, and it is all due to the expert teaching staff at the WMC.

The Arts courses at Working Men’s College are the best! I have gone here for two years and it is much less expensive than other arts colleges. I have my sites set on their Foundation in Art & Design Course.

This is an adult education centre close to Mornington Crescent in an old Victorian workhouse. The building has been added onto over the years so it’s a bit of a rabbit warren — glass lift shafts on the rear of the building; floors that are numbered differently on each side of the building; many corridors and fire doors in an endless maze.
The course held here range from tango to romantic languages and pottery. They have some quite high-​tech looking computer labs for design classes and art studios stuffed with supplies.
In the grand scheme of things the classes are cheap — from £7.00 a week for ongoing classes that dont require any equipment. Good points: if you enrol as a student for a fiver you get to use the internet and facilities in the library for a year. Bad points: No air-​conditioning in summer or heating in winter. sweltering.

The Working Men’s College has been a staple of educational opportunities in the Morning Cresent end of Camden Town. The college has many facilities including a large computer room with both PCs and Macs. The Macs have photo shop and final cut pro programmes. There’s a café upstairs, where you can grab probably the cheapest, quite tasty cappuccino in Camden! The meals in the café often consist of a selection of sandwiches (pannis, wraps etc.), jacket potatoes with a choice of toppings (beans, cheese, tuna etc.), chicken and pasta dishes, cous cous and salads. The college offer a wide ranging number of courses at affordable prices e.g. IT, languages, arts, multi media etc.
