CEMAST Needs educational reform- it's a college, not a business.
I'm a current student on one of the L4 courses here. Although some (and I mean some) lecturers are clearly well versed in their subject matter, the teaching is inconsistent and appears to value just getting the grades out of students over actually teaching the content to them. Some of the best staff and subject matter experts have either etired or resigned, and these voids aren't filled but rather barely covered by staff who have clearly not prepared, themselves saying "they don't know what they...

do not recommend
Bad college! Miscommunication coming from the staff to students is awful!! it took over half the year to get my LSA put in place because i have autism which was given to the wrong course!! I then also left my lanyard in an exam room so couldn't open any doors, when i went to go ask to borrow an "i forgot my lanyard" the receptionist wouldn't give me one and said she would get management involved because im argumentative!!!!! Do not recommend i have had nothing but trouble with the college

Manipulative
My teenager attended CEMAST, which is part of Fareham College. Some teachers were nice others, lied, manipulated and mentally abused my son. He has mental health issues (bereavement and trauma) and is neurodivergent. Because he struggled and was a bit hard work, they lied and manipulated him to make sure they got their good marks and then chucked him out. The staff lied to me. Do not trust them to do what's best for your child.

Bigoted and discriminatory. Avoid unless your a fascist.
Discriminating against people with a history of mental health. I went to do my access coarse in nursing and midwifery. I had passed the initial assessment and had the relevant qualifications but because i had a history of mental illness they found reasons to not accept me. This college isnt worth attending unless you like a bigoted discriminatory college then please join. I would never accept this from a college in the 21st Century.

Worst apprenticeship possible
I knew it was a bad college before I started but actually being in an apprenticeship at fareham is worse than I imagined. No lecturer for most of the year(not underestimating), when we did have a lecturer he would play online games in front of us rather than teach. So unorganised from the top all the way down to the cleaners, spent 50k on some high end screens that have never been used to teach us. Not allowed to use the new tools that they bought, somehow loads of the ‘new’ tools were missing I...

Avoid
Disorganised, It’s either rushed through or your repeating the same things you already learnt the week before We also had a new teacher and she was asking one of the other girls answers like she didn’t know herself what she was talking about The Lvl 2 course units were shocking compared to what other colleges have picked
