What some of our Alumni say...

Lucy FordI went to Preston’s College for three years, it’s brilliant they offer all the teaching

qualifications as well as improving personal

performance and exam work. I had the most amazing time there, it’s a brilliant college.

Olivia ShawI went to Preston’s College and I loved my time there. I

gained my teaching qualifications and went into professional work

before I went into teaching. All the staff at Preston’s are so supportive and l

considered them as family, they always gave me an honest opinion when it came to contracts! I could not

recommend them enough!

Danielle WalkerI trained at Preston’s College

and would 100% recommend it as it just seems to keep getting better and

better. I now teach full-time and currently have students attending and loving it. They

have a great teaching team who want to keep improving the College as they go forward

and are great at helping students towards the desired career. Attending Preston’s College

you can come out as a triple threat......istd teacher/performance trained/dance degree.

Although I took the teaching route I have heaps of friends who I trained with off

around the world doing all kinds of performance work.

Andrea MorrisonI went to Preston’s College and had an excellent experience. I

have had several girls who have done cover teaching for me at my school between contracts

since leaving Preston’s and they always seem to be in work!

Would highly recommend!

Rebecca McIntyreI graduated from Preston (PCD) in 2010...had the most amazing

time, the teachers are brilliant in what they do and have so much experience to share. I’ve personally had a career I have loved from performing to teaching, in which I am now in process of starting my

own company in Australia. I wouldn’t have done the things I have done if it wasn’t for my training at PCD!

Francesca PinizzottoI trained at Preston’s College and was

offered a professional performing job right before I graduated with a prestigious cruise line

company and from there I’ve had an amazing dance career travelling the world for 10 years. I found myself working alongside students who had invested thousands of pounds at London

colleges yet I received outstanding support from the friendly teachers, pointing me in the right

direction and preparing me for auditions! I highly recommend Preston’s College for both teaching

and performance - I couldn’t have been more prepared for the hard and competitive

life in this industry!

Rebecca DonnorI trained at Preston’s College

and had the very best support, encouragement and motivation from the staff. It’s a wonderful college and you are

able to train to high standards as well as gaining fantastic teaching qualifications with the ISTD.

I also managed to do the foundation degree and then top it up to a BA Hons degree, which I wasn’t

expecting to do when I arrived but loved it and has given me lots of further opportunities.

Loads of my friends off the course are either dancing professionally or teaching,

everyone has done great!

Lucy EverettI studied at Preston’s College and I loved it. I would do it all

again. There was fantastic support from the teachers who are friendly

and approachable both in the dance studio and the academic side of the

course. I highly recommend Preston’s College and encourage my dancers

from my dance school to go there.

Rebecca Mitchell-SeniorPreston’s College was the best three

years of my life. Great teacher’s, a super atmosphere and a very

enjoyable experience all round. I have been teaching dance since 2001 and still attend the College occasionally

as they provide courses for new ISTD syllabus work.
