Studying at Cardiff and Vale College has allowed me to progress onto something that didn’t think I could do. It helped me get on an in Esports course at Nottingham Trent University, broadening my horizons on what I can do in the future and set me on a pathway to one day work in Esports and pursue it as a career, which I’m really excited about. Esports is something I’m passionate about, and I’ve been able to realise my dream thanks to the support I’ve had from the College.
