Sutton Coldfield College 34 Lichfield Road, The Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield B74 2NW

"A college that breaches your rights. Applied for a course which was online. The admin team requested copy of my ID with me sending a picture of myself at the same time via non secure email. This I found strange and there was no paper work to indicate this was even the rules of this college. So I requested where in the terms and conditions it states I must be doing this. A staff member took great offence of being challanged on the data protection issue by banning me from doing any courses at BMET. This alone is discrimination and a very petty behaviour from staff who feel they must not be questioned. The DPO has on purposed breached the rights of my Subject Access Request by not complying to my request. 30 days is provisioned by the Information Commissioners Office and this not fit for purpose department failed to send me the information requested. When you chase up the DPO they start wanting to tell you ICO rules and then ask for an extension of time which is permitted under ICO rules and is for another 60 days. Well today is day 113 from when my SAR was requested and this not fit for purpose DPO has exceeded the legal ruling from the ICO so they can hide the evidence that I have requested. I have now sent in a complaint to the ICO about this not fit for purpose organisation. Beware BMET and record your interations. If I could give no stars then this would be my choice based on the discriminating service recieved."

"I'm currently in my second year of forensic science, these two years have been the best years I remember in education. My experiences in secondary school left me without faith in education, and I had no intention of continuing to university. Now I do all work to the best of my ability and have been offered and unconditional place at the university of Lincoln. All of my teachers have helped massively to encourage me and help with any problems I have had, this has helped me become much more confident and determined. I'm very grateful for everyone in the college for being so supportive and friendly during my time here."

"I have been student here for quite a long time and I feel safe and secure around the campus, Dan and his team doing a great ensure that everyone feels the same. The staff members are very friendly and kind, and are always ready to help the students. My overall experience at the college is great and would definition recommend the college to future students."

"I am in my second year of A levels at Sutton college, studying maths, psychology and anthropology. My experience at this college has been amazing - the teachers make the lessons interesting and always ensure that everyone understands the content, and support each individual student to achieve their potential. Furthermore, my teachers have been extremely supportive in terms of some personal problems I've been having, and have gone out of their way to support my own wellbeing. I have also found that there is a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere throughout the college."

"Have been an A level student here since September 2015 and have found my overall experience good. Teachers are supportive and overall standard of teaching is high. Head of A-levels and psychology teacher James Mathias is excellent, providing good course structures and materials."
