BA (Hons) Photography
The course was very hands-on and interactive and I feel that it has prepared me for my future career. It definitely gave me more skills and, because we were taught how to use both analogue and digital equipment, it broadened my horizons.
Education and Early years T Level
My advice to anyone considering a T Level in Early Years would be to work hard, stay dedicated and actively participate in lessons. Getting to know your classmates can also make the experience more enjoyable, fun and exciting. When it comes to placement, I would recommend building positive relationships with both the staff and children, as this can help you feel more comfortable, reduce stress and make the overall experience much more rewarding.
AAT Level 2 apprenticeship, AAT Level 3 apprenticeship
I never expected that starting as an administrator would lead me towards a career in accounting. Being given the opportunity to study AAT Level 2 has completely changed my career path.
UAL Level 2 Award and Diploma in Performing and Production Arts (Acting)
This college has given me the confidence, support, and inspiration I was missing before, and it’s helped me realise that my future could be bigger than I ever imagined whether that’s acting, directing, or something I haven’t discovered yet. I’m genuinely excited to continue my journey here next academic year and see how much more I can grow, learn, and achieve.
A Level Medical Pathway
I loved my teachers and classmates and I am very proud of what I have achieved. I hope to progress to be dentist after university but I am going to have a gap year first to gain some work experience.
Level 3 Diploma in Professional Cookery Studies
I loved the staff and made many friends. After I get more experience I want to open a restaurant. I am very proud to have won this award.
Level 4 Diploma in Salon Management
My tutor was an inspiration and built my confidence. I would 100% recommend the course as it has prepared me for the future with the experience you get with clients. In the future I would like to teach others to be an assessor.
Level 3 Patisserie and Confectionery
“I enjoyed everything on course, particularly Sugar craft. I would tell anyone Believe that you can do it and you will achieve it! The competitions really pushed me forwards!”
