Student Success

The college has prepared me for a career by improving my skills and helping me communicate with clients. It’s been perfect for me.

When starting a career in TV, no one thinks about the Health and Safety, the finance, the logistics, contracts, and catering. However, without the Production Management department doing these things, the show would never get made. We are essential.

Returning to education was one of the best decisions I have made. The PGCE course helped me develop the teaching knowledge, confidence and practical skills needed to progress into a professional teaching role

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.

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.

The college prepared me for the workplace by putting me in real world situations. Strick deadlines, communicating with me like a colleague and not a pupil and not to mention the industry-level equipment.

For me, college was also about having the space to focus on my craft. It gave me the opportunity to explore ideas, experiment and receive feedback from tutors. While professional studios offer high-end equipment, I’ve learned that the most important part of music is always the ideas behind it, not just the tools you use.

The variety of assignments meant I was constantly developing and improving, which prepared me well for the next stages of my academic journey
