Student Case Study - Shirley

Why did you decide to study this qualification?

I was inspired by my daughter who, having completed a degree, said there was no reason why I couldn't do one too.

Why did you choose B&FC?

I looked at different courses but realised I needed to start from scratch with my GCSEs to build the right entry qualifications. Going to B&FC meant I could study all the qualifications I needed in one place. It just made sense.

What have been the benefits of studying here?

Smaller class sizes which means everyone gets one-to-one help and a really friendly, supportive atmosphere which makes going back into education so much easier.
