Access Creative College Plymouth - Plymouth

I have studied in this collage for almost a whole year, the course has taught me a lot about things to do with art for games.

Some of the things you will definitely learn during the games design course are things like, Blender, Maya, Construct, Unity, Photoshop (Digital 2D Drawing) and Substance painter.

Also for some instances you will be able to go on trips to art studios and some other trips being a slightly more chilled out like the GAME Esports arena which is amazing in my opinion.

Not only that BUT the collage has there own Esports arena along with a electric radiator in basically each room so its never too clod inside the collage giving it a nice atmosphere.

I have gotten to the point of currently doing free freelancing for people and I'm hoping to eventually get money from it once I build enough trust in the community.

So far I have managed to get 2 requests, sadly I didn't accept one since they kept switching it up on me every single second meaning I had to redo the piece about 20 times.

But the other one I am working on right now and I'm enjoying it quite well since I have gotten along with the person whom requested a piece to be made for a game in Roblox.

Also the teachers are great when it come to supporting us students, I cant lie anyone who comes here will most likely get along with the teachers in the collage since they all have interesting views on basically each subject.

Also the teachers in this collage make it amazingly easy to understand the subject by just simply asking one question like "can you explain it in a easier way" or personally I like asking for them to explain it to me in a dumb way since it always ends up helping me understand it properly.

Some of the teachers I personally have gotten along with quite well are the following: Cara, Mike and Mat.R.

Also a big benefit of going to this collage is being able to go to free music events which the students of the collage preform there (all of them are absolutely amazing at what they do).

Very good collage: 10/10

I have been studing here at ACC Plymouth for a total of 4 years and and currently on my first of three years of my University Course. From foundation skills of working in studios to understanding the software and learning about the complexities of the music Industries. Each tutor and member of staff is very supportive and always willing to listen and help. I have many fond memories and it's set me on a course into an industry I had never expected to enter

An awesome centre full of interesting and personable staff and all of the professional equipment one would expect.

Throughout my FE tuition with this centre I was provided with great personal and professional insight from the wide, varied backgrounds of the tutors. Topics spanning many sectors of the industry, from live-sound rigging to audio for media to compositional development were covered in great detail.

The centre includes multiple studio-spaces that include industry-standard consoles, outboard gear, instruments and DAWs (Pro Tools, Ableton, Logic etc.) and some truly amazing technicians who are always up to the challenge if an issue is reported.

Additionally the reception and support staff were incredibly responsive and helpful with anything I would come to them with.

Overall I was very pleased with how the course was conducted, so much so that I have undertaken an undergraduate degree in the same centre.

My son who has additional needs has had a most positive experience at Access Creative. The staff go to extra lengths to ensure he has what is needed and up to now he has been successful in his music course gaining merits and distinctions. With the college being small students get known and are well supported to reach their potential. He has also joined a band through meeting other like minded students and plays gigs locally. A special mention to Olly and Chelsea for always being at the end of the phone!

Great, memorable tutors and fantastic equipment. Interesting modules that really improved my work ethic and the quality of my creative output. Tutors are also all readily available for support and feedback via email. Really enjoyed my time here.

Loved every minute of my time at ACC plymouth. Met some great people and built great relationships that have enabled to develop my skills as a producer/DJ. The lecturers were fantastic, very knowledgeable and were always happy to help with any issues.

My experience at DBS (Access Creative College Plymouth) was okay.
I’ll start with the fact you learn so much from the lecturers from: sequencing, using DAWs, Using the studios and learning how to set up analog equipment, how to record using analog, how to compose music, how to mix and master, Live Sound Recording, Music Theory, Vinyl DJing and how to record your mixes etc..
The lecturers have a huge range of skills, knowledge.
The lecturers are nice to you and they are there to help. You can have banter and it’s a very chilled environment. You’re treated like an adult when you act like one yourself too 😂.
Yes you will have ups and downs but there is a good support team, to help you. They will always point you in the right direction (Clare and Olly are incredible) plus your course leader or even the reception staff are there to help. Even the leader of the campus too 😂.
My course was 2 years and I will say that my first year was not so good (many reasons) but the second year was the best by far. I was treated right, I was listened to and I enjoyed that last year. It was fun.
shoutouts to Ben, Matt M, Dave, Jen, Chelsea, Dan, Matt Ward, Bradley, Phil, Olly, Clare, Matt R (for scaring me by putting me on the spot all the time 😂 , but also pushing me out my comfort zone) and others I’ve missed I’m sorry but these people were the ones who helped me get through it. If you’re lucky enough to be in the same building as they are, you’ll be okay.
I recommend this place to study if you’re based either locally or somewhere like me from (Cornwall) because you will not get another opportunity anywhere else to study nearby that gives you the skills, information and knowledge to be able to move on to university and into the scary world that is The Music Industry.
Don’t miss your chance!
