“ Moodle facility helps me to gather all relevant study materials. When I miss a class I can still catch up because all lectures are recorded and saved on Moodle” - Kamila Wawrzyniak Conboy
“I would recommend City Colleges. F4 is the first subject I have taken but have found everyone extremely helpful and accessible.” - Andrea Oman
