Pros

Central teams (including management) actively listen and reflect on what you have to say. They take time for you and follow up (rare in Colleges). Scope of creative curriculum. Staffing teams. Amount and quality of learning support for students (doesn't compare to colleges). Facilities and campus as a whole. Quality of curriculum planning and development is exceptionally high. Reporting systems in comparison are very good.

Cons

Nothing out of the ordinary that you wouldn't find in the FE education sector.
