An exceptional studying experience.

4th September 2026

I thought it only fair to give exceptionally high praise to Ridgeway College and to provide enthusiastic feedback. I have studied with the college for the last 3 year and have, during that time, completed my level 4, level 5 and advanced counselling Psychology diplomas. The level of teaching is excellent and the support I have received from Dr Graham Cocking, Julia Hazelwood and their team has been amazing. As a result of the recognised high standard of the college’s diplomas I have now been given an unconditional position at Leeds Beckett University to study a Master’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Psychology, starting this September.

I cannot thank the collage enough and would highly recommend to anyone seeking to study in the area to do so at Ridgeway College.

Really good quality content, being in group sessions was terrifying at times but gave me such good insights into myself and others. Can’t thank the tutors enough.

Life-changing

7th August 2023

My experience studying at Ridgeway College has been both challenging and life-changing.

The knowledge and insight I have learnt has been so valuable to my personal growth and

my ability to communicate as a counsellor. At Ridgeway College I had the privilege to be

taught by tutors who were practicing counsellors with many years’ experience. The tutors

bring their knowledge and wisdom into their teachings giving the students a more detailed

description of the counsellors’ experience. The education I received at Ridgeway College

has proven to be the Perfect Foundation for my practice as a counsellor. I now have the

privilege to work with clients as a counsellor. I hold much of my success to my education at Ridgeway College.

Look forward to the future

7th August 2023

I’m looking forward to completing my course but I also know that I will be back to

complete workshops and other courses with Ridgeway due to the content of course material,

professionalism and experience of staff and the ability to learn in an environment that is

supportive and non-judgemental.
