Studying First Diploma in Uniformed Services

"Fareham College was the quickest college to reply back to my application so I felt reassured about how the process would develop. The course itself has given me a very good insight in to what I want to do in the near future. I would like to go into the RAF police because I like to help people. I’ve been able to go to Navy Days, the Houses of Parliament and Household Cavalry to name but a few."

Chloe Skinner, formerly of Neville Lovett Community School

Studying Level 3 Diploma in Beauty Therapy

"I chose Fareham College because I heard it was the number one college for Beauty Therapy. I have loved everything about my course – the things I’ve learnt and the support I have received. I have a heart condition which made it hard for me to do certain treatments. The College helped me and worked the course around my needs. It’s a fantastic college to come to because it is very dedicated to teaching you and the people on your course, the lecturers are great and the training you receive is brilliant. When I leave I’d hopefully like to own my own salon or go onto teacher training so I can teach others what I’ve learnt."

Dale Geldart, formerly of Bay House School

Studying Level 1 in Motor Vehicle Maintenance

"I chose to study at Fareham College because of the great feedback from former students about Motor Vehicle. I love finding out about the industry and learning within some fantastic facilities. The knowledge you gain is fantastic and the lecturers have a great understanding of what workload the students need for them to succeed. After college, I’d like to get an Apprenticeship with Ford and have a successful career with them."

Si Si Zhao, an international student

Studying Access to Nursing

"Fareham College is a good college with many good teachers to support your learning. The Access course is great for adult learners and will help me go on to the University of Southampton to study Nursing. I’m a non-English speaker so I have been working hard to try and learn the English language and the lecturers have been very supportive."

John Scammell, formerly of Neville Lovett Community School

Studying A-levels

"The best thing about my course is the lecturers. They are very helpful, enjoyable to be around, and often provide insight into areas of life I never knew about. It is a friendly college and I would heartily recommend it. When I leave I want to see the world and broaden my mind. I would also like to go to university at Southampton or Chichester to study Philosophy and English or just English."

Mike Cooper, formerly of Brookfield Community School

Studying a Level 3 Diploma in Hospitality, Supervision and Leadership

"Fareham College is amazing. I really like the supervising aspect of it and the environment I work in is professional and friendly. There are lots of trips and things you can do on the course.
