East Durham College - Peterlee

Enrolled to do 23 week course and they had a teacher change over during this which highlighted all the errors in teaching, materials, support etc. I paid for this course out of my own heard earned money (not government funded) and only received quality teaching/ materials for 7 weeks out of 23. Logged a complaint and just been told basically you’re on track to pass therefore what is the issue! Not worth the money I paid for it.

We went here for our daughter's dance comp. The venue is perfect for this Avent. The only issue with it was there were no changing rooms available for the competitors. Which meant people were having to change costumes around the edge of the sports hall. Apart from this issue everything else was good.

Good college with a variety of different courses with access from and to all levels.
Amazing sport facilities and the coaches are amazing, they really engage with the children and work to bring out the best.
The only downside is the parking.

If you’re wanting to do something with your life then DONT come here. Sat my Level 2 motor vehicle last year and ended up leaving at the end. Had 5-6 different lectures all teaching us different ways or not at all. Getting signed off for assessments that we didn’t really understand or didn’t do. just because THEY didn’t have time. Got put into a college placement where I was stood around and no one bothered tried teaching me. Got put onto a second one and that was exactly the same. As long as EDC are making money then they don’t care about you. No care for people with special needs or anything. Towards the end they did find a good lecturer and I believe that hes a lot better than the others. Management is shambles, Head of courses talk to you disgusting ANDY BLYTHE.

I’ve moved onto something 10x better. If your looking for a good college, Go somewhere else

Facilities included are IT suites,3G pitch,5 a side football pitch, Barbers,Toilet facilities,Cafe,Labs,media room.

Library tends to be overcrowded.

Ample parking spaces.

Good gym and sport halls however lacking equipment for preferable weight training.

As a student needs much improvement from lecturers including student teacher communication. Also a lack of practical activities and educational visits.

Lovely staff, clean and bright space (bit of a rabbit warren in places though! ) and easy to get to, just a 5 minute walk from the bus station. Lots of free courses for all ages, including oldies like me 😁
