This course has given me valuable, hands-on experience in healthcare and I have always felt supported by my teachers throughout my time here. The facilities are great and we always use the most up-to-date, industry-standard equipment. The College has also provided me with accessible transport links, which has made getting to and from campus really easy. I’m excited for my future, I’m looking to progress to Level 3 next year and then into employment in the sector.
