Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Wish I could give no star but there’s no option for that. Handsworth campus is the worst campus of all. Attitude of black teachers is so horrible especially with Asians. They treat you live slaves. It’s my friendly and sincere advice please don’t take admission is Handsworth campus especially in hair and beauty. They will make your life hell.

Worst place ever. There’re a so called gym where’s no one is available. Hair and beauty department is all drama. Handsworth campus should be named Afro Carribean black campus because it’s full of black staff and students and black teachers just give favours to black students. Many black girls misbehave with teachers and even swearing but teachers don’t take any action against them. Teachers are mostly poorly and nobody bothers to inform students. Students only come to know about teachers absence when they go to college. Receptionist in hair and beauty salon is worst of all. She didn’t even know how to talk to students and behave like students are her servants. They don’t provide colours to students and if student work on each other for their assessments they have been told to pay but on other hand they bring their own friends and family and do their treatments free of charge. It’s my friendly advice please don’t get admission in Handsworth campus especially in hair dressing.

South and city Handsworth campus is the worst campus of all. They are getting funds from government but giving nothing to students. All the black people work their support only black people. Favouritism is on its peak. Black stsidentsbare not attending college and not doing any assessments but teachers just tell them to fill in consulting sheets and they just sign them. Hair and beauty staff using everything on their family and friends, they just bring their family and friends and use everything on them instead of providing them to students. Full of racism, and full of favouritism. I am shocked to see the behaviour of staff. Since course started our main tuitor came to college just for 2 months from September till to date. If they are not feeling well they should leave Job and stay at home o stead of wasting students time.
