Testomonials - Edinburgh's Telford College

Duncan Cowles

HND Creative Industries : Television

"At Telford you are treated with respect. The staff that I came into contact with, which were mainly on the creative side of things were great. A lot of the staff, whether they were part of your course or not, were willing to help you in whatever way they could. A few of them agreed to be interviewed on film by myself in first year. This was done on their time and they didn’t have to. They were all a great laugh and helped me with my project.

"The facilities at Telford are the most up to date I’ve seen at a college in Edinburgh & Glasgow. One of the main problems with the TV industry is that the technology advances quicker than the colleges and Universities.

"I could pin point a lot of fond memories at Telford. Moments when the class & lecturers came together and bonded. A lot of the chat was brilliant. It was good spending time every week with people who love and appreciate films as much as I do."

HNC Fashion Makeup

“I enjoy studying at Telford because they make it easy for you. Everything I needed was in the college and accessible at times that suited me.

“I found the lecturers to be brilliant, and learning at Telford was an enjoyable experience, so much so, that it has made me want to come back and learn more! The skills I have gained will help me in all aspects of my life, and doing the course has helped me come out of my shell.

“I believe that Telford will make me ready for a successful career in the fashion makeup industry, especially in my dream of working in television, film or theatre.”

Ian Millar

HND Photography

“I would recommend Telford for the facilities and equipment available and the high level of knowledge of the staff. The general ‘can do’ attitude and level of support from tutors and administrative staff is superb!

“The end of year exhibition – the lead up to it, and the event itself – was a very proud moment for me personally. Telford taught me a broad scope of new techniques. This has given me the confidence to go out and actively seek photography commissions, as I now intend to set up my own photographic business.”

New Media with Visual Communication

“I am proud to be part of Telford! I first heard about the college after going to an educational exhibition in Nepal and realised Telford has good reputation in producing good, skilled fresh talent.

“The course I did was really interesting with a powerful scope. Studying at Telford has wider benefits too, such as the chance to learn, earn and grow and prospects of international jobs. I have a great vision for my life, and although I have studied new media and the digital arts in Scotland, I can see me bringing these skills back home. When you look at all the important aspects of going to college, such as support, systems, tutors and finance – it’s all awesome!”
