   Terrible service. Long story short: I was rightfully owed back my student loan through Fees Free which Yoobee Collage DID NOT refund back to me. When I first enquired about this, I was told they will look into it. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and gave them the time. (I had gathered all the evidence from Fees Free to say they have paid for the course on my behalf which was sent to Yoobee). 3 weeks went by and no update. I was told “we have a new system in place so we can’t find your records” (Weird). I kept pressing them on the matter and when they realised I wasn’t going away from this, I just kept getting told “it will take time, there are going to be delays”. I would call/email them every 2 weeks for 4 months for updates and I still got the same response: “more delays”. How long does it take to find records?? At this point I had enough and I was ready to go to the tribunal. But before I did, I contacted the TEC and explained the situation. They looked into my case and they immediately got in contact with Yoobee to issue the refund ASAP, which Yoobee eventually did within the hour. The fact that it takes me to contact the TEC to get this situation resolved after I sent Yoobee all the evidence is a joke on Yoobee’s behalf. I’m a local and I can’t imagine what it would be like for an international student to go through the same horrible deception I had to endure with Yoobee. As for Tonie Hands the receptionist, she is incredibly rude, disrespectful and totally unprofessional. She made it very clear she did NOT want to help on the matter whatsoever. She became incredibly defensive and aggressive when I would enquire about the subject. A terrible attitude over the phone.

   From my own experience alone, I've had the best training and help I could possibly get from my tutors, and the best support from both them and new friends. Although I am difficult to deal with, I am put up with and am given honest feedback about my work and social skills regardless. These past two years have helped me to better understand myself, to the point where I can work on righting my wrongs, and to improve on making better friendships with others in the future.

   I did the Film Training Package course at night with Daniel Guerra as my main tutor. Daniel is an excellent teacher. He is knowledgeable and passionate about the filmmaking process. I definitely learned a lot from him and enjoyed every minute of the class which was vast covering pre-production, principle photography and post-production. I feel a lot more confident now as filmmaker and have many of the building blocks to continually develop my skillset within the industry going forward. Katy Brownlee also taught a few days as well during the course, and she was really amazing too. Both tutors showed that they cared about students and their development a lot so I'm really grateful for the course. I would definitely recommend this South Seas as a great film school to learn.

   I studied the level 6 Diploma in Digital Photography. Enjoyed first months until I fell extremely sick mid way through became very truent but was not supported through such a hard time. Tutor spoke more about being vegan than he did Photography and is far too sarcastic. I would 100% recommend finding else where to study. Fiona and Allan were absolutely lovely tutors but believe they are no longer working there. Finally after 7 months have received my grades and was absolutely angry with the comment he made.. Was only 2 lines with no meaning and honestly was expecting alot more written down for the length it took them to get out. If they couldn't understand my circumstances from the start, I don't see why I have to understand theirs. I think over half a year is pathetic amount of time to get a transcript out no matter what the situation! Especially when they expected assignments in on time. Who paid for the education?Ridiculous. This course is enough to turn you off what you want to do, it's not the work that will, it's the support you won't get.

   Did the acting course in 2016. Mia and Johnny were absolutely dreadful, having no idea what they were teaching. Mia was also a vile person who took pleasure in making herself feel superior to you- not a good trait for the school counselor. The singing teacher also left after 3 weeks of teaching, mulling the subject which was covered up by giving everyone a B for the paper. Overall, this course ruined my passion for acting and I've never looked back.

   Studied at South Seas for 2 years doing their Animation course and I couldn't be happier with the facilities. The school is amazing and the staff are all fantastic and friendly. Joining South Seas was like gaining a second family and it was an incredible experience.
