Level 3 Extended Diploma in TV and Film Production
During my time on the course, I gained a strong understanding of all stages of production, from planning and shooting to editing. It helped me become a more detailed and confident filmmaker, and I also learned how to collaborate effectively with others, which is essential in this industry.
Level 3 Business Administrator Apprenticeship
I was first inspired to take the apprenticeship route while studying my Level 2 Business Administration course. My teacher highlighted the benefits of apprenticeships as a practical, paid alternative to university that allows you to gain experience while working towards a qualification. That idea really appealed to me, and I knew it was the right path for me.
Access to Business
One of the most valuable aspects of the course was the discipline and structure it introduced. It challenged me in new ways, but it was also incredibly rewarding.
BSc in Television Production and Screen Theory
One of the most important parts of my time at college was the support from my lecturers. The relationships I built with them gave me the encouragement I needed to believe in my abilities and push myself further. That confidence played a key role in shaping my future.
Level 2 Public Services and Level 2 Applied Science
The staff were supportive, and I always felt encouraged, especially by the additional learning support team, who helped me manage challenges and stay focused on my studies.
BA (Hons) Graphic Design
The best part of further and higher education for me was the opportunity to fully explore my craft. I spent hours researching, experimenting and collaborating with others, pushing my ideas further than I thought possible. It also gave me the chance to try different techniques and discover what I truly enjoyed.
Aviation Operations Extended Diploma
Looking back, the course not only prepared me for my career but also helped me develop as a person. It gave me the skills, knowledge and mindset needed to progress into a professional environment.
Level 2 Diploma in Applied Science, Level 3 Extended Diploma in Applied Science, and BA (Hons) Criminology and Forensic Investigation
The support I receive at college has made a huge difference. Educational communicators have worked alongside me throughout my studies, helping me access learning in ways that suit me. This includes support with note taking, specialist equipment, tactile resources and adapted materials such as braille and graphs. Their dedication and understanding have helped me stay on track and continue progressing.
