Tutors are amazing & the course are great

The staff are very welcoming . They answer all the questions and support you through every step they are very knowledgeable :)

my son is 17 and has just enrolled yesturday . He is looking forward to learning from the experts in this field and then hopefully on to uni :)we are so proud of him for following his dream with confetti :) watch this space ’┐Į’┐ĮŌÖ®’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐ Į

Just started it, but so far so good! The teachers are all helpful and kind, and every lesson has been enjoyable. I hope they continue to keep up the fun though out my two years here!

Just been to splendid... Fantastic performances by all of your students! They are so talented! Well done everyone!

I wish I'd studied harder! I kind of miss being around all that technology! Don't take those two years for granted people

I attended confetti over ten years ago Totally awesome place.really talented djs and mcs.james summers fever and the man himself mc spyda.

I attended Confetti from 2012 - 2014 on the Games Development course and it was a great experience. A big thanks to the tutors who helped me develop skills and knowledge of the Video Game Industry as well as preparing me for university which I'll be graduating from next year. Confetti was a real influence on my career choice and I love what I do, thanks.

Great college for anyone interested in the creative industries

Confetti's dedicated local resources, as well as its colourful and comfortable work environment was what encouraged me to enrol there after I finished at school. You'll do well if you're passionate about your creative field of choice, willing to get along with people, have fun, and forfill what's required. They have just the right staff to help you along.



I graduated in 2007, and you wouldn't believe how much things have changed. More spaces, more courses, stronger industry links, and more prospects.

Confetti has helped me so much and not just with my confidence. I have been encouraged to be myself and that it is okay to be who I am as a performer and as in general. The tutors are so lovely. I would recommend this college to everyone and anyone who is in to music and so on. But I already have told as many people as I can about this college and will continue to.

I absolutely love this place.

Can't recommend this place enough. At confetti you are a person who is cared about, not just another essay to be marked. Great place, if you go, dive right in and take every opportunity it gives you.

Best college in Nottingham in my opinion, meets all my expectations :)

Absolutely enjoyed the college experience, got a nice grade when graduated. Now taking a degree and enjoying it even more ’┐Į

sick place stil. studios are Beastinn

Confetti is an okay experience. 6/10 Ngl

When doing assignments, sometimes we did not get feedback. Teachers were rude, as well as that it was unhygienic, smelt like cheesy feet. Cleaners clean the windows with their spit. Teachers say "F--- off and die" to students. Food gets carried through the building uncovered. No disabled accessibility. 6pm finish most of the day gone wasted.also the teacher are bullies, so are receptionists.

Man like dean.

Disorganised mess of a University. Poor quality of teaching, lack of major support and general "meh" approach to teaching. I've heard that it's picked up this year, but that has to be because my final year at University was so abysmal almost everybody was considering dropping out, some did, and over half failed.



Lack of any relevant topics taught with exception of 3DS Max, which is only given surface level interaction. Unreal, the worse of the two engines (Unity and Unreal 4), and that's literally it. Honestly, no other software was taught. 3DS Max and Unreal. What an amazing set of skills for making games. No creative writing, no narrative and character design, no concept art, no programming (Blueprint does NOT count as programming, it's a sucky language literally nobody uses), no anything. Absolutely useless course and I have had to teach myself everything useful in the games industry after I'd left. This may be University in general, because British education sucks as a whole, but Confetti literally pride themselves on having "an up-to-date and relevant knowledge of the industry", yeah right. They still think it's 2007 and everybody is playing AAA brown shooters made by Crytek. Most people are moving to Indies now, you're not supporting those dreams.



HALF AN ENTIRE YEAR OF ABOUT 44 STUDENTS FAILED. THINK ABOUT THIS, THERE IS ONLY A 50% PASS RATE.



Could not recommend this to anybody, do not go.
