“I applied to do the Medical and Legal Secretary course as I wanted to follow an administrative career path or possibly go into the area of bookkeeping and payroll. The course gave me a broad education that covered many different future employment opportunities. At the end of the year, I decided I wanted to pursue the level 6 Business course to further enhance my admin and payroll skills as I had really enjoyed those aspects of the course the most. Despite the huge interruption caused by Covid, the teachers were incredibly helpful, supportive, understanding, and got us all through to the end of the year. This college is a fantastic resource, right on our doorstep and should be a consideration for anyone looking to upskill or further their education. I loved my time here and only wish I could have spent more time there; I will miss it a lot.”
