At Nottingham College, we’re committed to helping every student succeed – not just while you’re studying with us, but beyond that in whatever career path you may take. That’s why we’re reaching out to students who have recently completed their course with the college or progressed to a new one with our yearly Destinations Survey.
We want to know is: What are you doing now?
Whether you’ve moved into employment, continued your studies, started an apprenticeship, or taken another exciting step, your journey matters to us. By sharing your career journey with us, you’re helping us understand what works well and where we can improve.
Why is this important?
Your feedback isn’t just a tick-box exercise. It helps us:
- Improve our courses – Real-world outcomes show us what skills and knowledge make the biggest difference to our students.
- Shape future opportunities – We use your insights to develop new course programs and put in place support services to help our students succeed.
- Celebrate success – Your achievements inspire current and future students.
How will we contact you?
To make it quick and easy, we’ll be sending a short survey through one or more of the following platforms over the next few weeks:
- SMS/Text message
Keep an eye out for this coming through. It only takes a few minutes to complete, and your responses are confidential.
What will this look like?
You can find examples of the communications you may receive below. It is important ensure that any WhatsApp, SMS or email is genuine and you can use the following examples as reference to know what to look out for.
WhatsApp/SMS/Text message
All WhatsApp messages that you receive will come from the Nottingham College Business Account. A blue tick appearing after our name will verify this.
If the mobile number we hold on your student record is not enabled for WhatsApp you will receive the same message content as the WhatApp but through a standard text SMS message instead – this will come from the same number as our WhatsApp business account, which is +447700175288.
If you receive an email request to do the survey it will come from this address nottingham@survey.education and will look similar to the example provided, your first name and the course programme you studied will be shown in this email.
What’s In It For You?
By taking part, you’re helping us build a better college for Nottingham and ensuring that future students have the best possible experience. Plus, it’s also a great way to stay connected and let us know how we can support you in your next steps if you do need to do that.
Look out for our message soon – and thank you for helping us make a difference!
