Level 2 and Level 3 Professional Patisserie and Confectionery
When I met my tutor, Sasha, she made a huge impact. Her passion for both the practical elements and the food science aspect of it really inspired me, and I knew it was the right course for me. The combination of hands-on learning and understanding the theory behind ingredients gave me a strong foundation that I still use every day.
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Level 2 and Level 3 Hairdressing
The college has prepared me for a career by improving my skills and helping me communicate with clients. It’s been perfect for me.
BA (Hons) Counselling
I felt supported as a single person, as a single mother and as a mature student to take on this challenge, being local was important too.
Level 3 Extended Diploma in TV and Film Production
During my time on the course, I gained a strong understanding of all stages of production, from planning and shooting to editing. It helped me become a more detailed and confident filmmaker, and I also learned how to collaborate effectively with others, which is essential in this industry.
Level 3 Business Administrator Apprenticeship
I was first inspired to take the apprenticeship route while studying my Level 2 Business Administration course. My teacher highlighted the benefits of apprenticeships as a practical, paid alternative to university that allows you to gain experience while working towards a qualification. That idea really appealed to me, and I knew it was the right path for me.
Access to Business
One of the most valuable aspects of the course was the discipline and structure it introduced. It challenged me in new ways, but it was also incredibly rewarding.
BSc in Television Production and Screen Theory
One of the most important parts of my time at college was the support from my lecturers. The relationships I built with them gave me the encouragement I needed to believe in my abilities and push myself further. That confidence played a key role in shaping my future.
Level 2 Public Services and Level 2 Applied Science
The staff were supportive, and I always felt encouraged, especially by the additional learning support team, who helped me manage challenges and stay focused on my studies.
