"My friend already studies here and said very good things about the college but as soon as I came to the open day I knew this was definitely the college for me! Lecturers are helpful and supportive – always available to help during and outside of lessons. They have years of industry experience so are able to provide us with real-life examples and scenarios which really help as we fully understand what is required from us"
