The whole course in general was excellent. Learning new skills and being around a large group of adults all aiming to achieve the same goal was pretty cool.

The staff were great from start to finish, always there if you needed extra support.

The course has given me great confidence in the important things that are needed to become a paramedic. Learning skills like essay writing and research has been invaluable.

I definitely have a love for the darkroom and that’s one thing I really like about this course.

It’s been really good learning how to print and to process my own film.

When I joined the Support for Learning department, I had no confidence in myself or with anyone, but the lovely staff members in the college and in the course had pushed me to do things I didn't think I could ever do. With the help from the level 4 course, I am now in a mainstream hospitality course which I didn't think I would ever get into, now I can think about my future

The SWAP accessing to nursing course has made me a confident and successful student and I have achieved more than I could have imagined both on a personal and academic level. The tutors were approachable, engaging and I truly looked forward to each block and was eager to learn more. I could not have asked for a better class, as peers we supported each other and were a group who truly worked together to achieve success from the start to end of the course.

The course has prepared me for higher education, and I genuinely believe without my peers and tutors I would not be where I am today. I feel this course has prepared me for university and I am so thankful for this year which has allowed me to progress in my career as a nurse.
