ACM Guildford

Hi my son really wants to go to ACM Guildford to do the UAL Level 3 Diploma, we've been for a couple of open days and on the surface it all looks great but....
I keep reading very bad reviews from former students.
When I questioned ACM staff about how many students pass the course they deflected.
Recently I've seen so many adverts from them, they seem to be desperate to get more students in the door which I'd guess will lead to lower standards.

Despite the reg flags I think we are still going to send him as it's what he wants but we do have a serious concerns.

My son went on a open day but didn't get a good vibe.

His friend went to the London campus but dropped out after a year and transferred to a different institution instead to complete his degree.

Hi, ACM changed ownership this year in May and it is absolutely buzzing now. The campuses have all had a facelift and even the air conditioning is now working again. It was all a bit chaotic under the former owner but the tutors are amazing, the facilities are brilliant and the networks and opportunities are really good. The diploma course in Guildford is excellent and the FE team are really friendly. It leads really nicely onto the degree programme too if you want to continue to study in Guildford, or at one of the other campuses in London or Birmingham.
