“On the course, I’ve had more opportunities to gain experience and complete projects I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise. My tutors have been incredibly supportive of my aspirations to work in the special effects industry.“ Maria Clerkin - Level 3 Art and Design “I have had a great many opportunities to perform with college and from this, I have gained a level of confidence and determination to succeed that I don’t think I could find anywhere else.” Harry Peacey - Level 3 Performing Arts “At college, we’re able to have fun as well as learn. It’s not all about work and it’s not just classroom based - we go out to do activities too. All the tutors are really nice and treat you like adults. I know full well that if I hadn’t come to this college, I wouldn’t have had the same support.” Emily Fairclough - Level 3 Sport Science “The staff are incredibly supportive and helpful. Most importantly, the environment is very safe and friendly which improves your confidence as you get to interact and meet new people.“ Salomie Yousaf - Level 3 Beauty Therapy
