After finishing the course I was able to work in a competitive logistics company called DPD straight away. I totally recomend it.
I really enjoyed my time in the college. The course had different facets which covered all areas of logistics and distribution. The lecturers were knowledgable and helpful and there are also plenty of field trips. Without a doubt, it was a great experience.
I completed the Logistics and Distribution course for 2018 and it exceeded my expectations. I got to work at Dell (EMC) for 10 weeks, do a full tour of Kuehne + Nagel, design a supply chain project from the ground up, learn how to calculate inventory space using math formulas, and gain knowledge in all areas of logistics. I’m working now in the logistics industry and this course was the key to unlocking the first door.

This course was very productive for me, exciting meeting amazing peole and making new friends. Every day was a source of new information thanks to brilliant teachers. Definitely will be back. Thank you.
I loved my marketing and event management course in CCOC. It is a great college where you get a lot of support and help from your tutors. It gave me the confidence to pursue higher education, which I am currently studying a degree in Marketing and Multimedia at the University of Roehampton.
I’m 100% happy I did the Logistics & Distribution course at CCOC, it has given me the confidence to be where I am today.
CCOC provided me with the encouraging, supportive & motivating environment I needed to excel in my studies & progress to UWSTD where I completed my Marketing degree with just one further year study there. The high marks I received in my degree was testament to the three years I spent in CCOC being constantly challenged & supported by brilliant teachers, as is my job as a Marketing Executive. The personal approach was one of my best aspects, everyone’s needs were catered for individually and there was no “one size fits all” attitude.
