The support I received at College helped prepare me for work in the Healthcare sector. I'm now a fully qualified, registered nurse.Tonya Webb (Health & Welfare) -
There was no point in studying for 3 A-Levels I was never going to use. I achieved 8 As and 2 Bs in my GCSEs. The College was perfect for me because I wanted to specialise in Music Production, which I couldn't do at school.Dearbhla Duddy (Music Production)Creative Music Industry (Production) (Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma/ Extended Diploma)
