School Leavers

I've found it easier to make friends, talk to my tutors and get involved in activities here."

The support I've received from the tutors has been amazing - they will always go the extra mile to help if you ask!"

I've loved being at College so my advice would be to make the most of every day as it all goes so quickly in the end."

Don't be afraid to ask questions, be confident in yourself and remember, everything takes time so be patient too."

The class sizes are smaller so there's plenty of one-to-one support and the range of equipment you can use is fantastic."

The help here was great and I really felt part of a closely knit group. Everyone on the course supported each other which is probably why we all did so well."

The mix of coursework and exams really suited me and the placement allowed to experiment more than I would in the classroom which accelerated my learning."

There is a relationship you can build with tutors here where you feel like you can always reach out for help with anything."

Doing a placement gave me a better insight into the kinds of careers I could go into. Before I started I wanted to become a midwife but I realised through the placement that a healthcare assistant was a better fit for me."

See your tutor as someone who is there to help and support you. You don't have to 'perform' like you may have felt you had to do in school. You're here to learn and the environment really supports that."

The small class sizes meant I got to know my fellow students and tutors really well. I also enjoyed the fact that the course was very hands-on."

The learning environment is fun and the tutors are really supportive."

The tutors are great, very supportive and push you to perform to the best of your ability. It's also really friendly and everyone gets on."
