Success story: Jon Day

My name is Jon I am 28-years-old,  I studied Access to Business at South Essex College from September 2020 until May 2021 and this is my story.

Before I started the course I had spent my career working in banking and estate agency. I am now in my second semester at University of Essex studying Business Administration.
I chose to study at South Essex College as I had studied there a decade ago and offered a convenient location with great facilities to aid in my studies.

My time at South Essex College was great preparation for my future career as it is a professional environment offering ample opportunity to gain and improve my skills relevant to the workplace.

The best thing about doing further education is that it has given me an opportunity to improve. It is challenging but rewarding and has improved my future prospects.

I would strongly recommend anyone interested in studying in the local area to attend South Essex College, this is due to many reasons such as the brilliant standard of teaching, the high quality of the classes, the great facilities and the superb approach to facilitating students of all abilities. 

I found I gained confidence in all aspects of my life and found the discipline instilled during my study at South Essex College has been useful at university.

My ambitions is to go into teaching myself, and potentially one day to teach at South Essex College.
