Business Student Emily Butler

“The units that we learn on our course are very varied which I really like, for example air cabin, cruises, tourism and different cultures around the world. We have a lot of practical activities and get to do an industry placement to put our skills to practice in the workplace. I loved going to British Airways and getting to do cabin training in their facilities. I would like to go into Event Management in the future.”

“It’s great to be able to learn in such a welcoming and friendly environment and my tutors make learning fun. We have lots of practical lessons, and I have developed my business knowledge, especially in my industry placement where I worked at a local employer and improved my customer service and sales skills.”

Business Student Chloe Allart-Bennett

“I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do before I came to College but coming here and studying Accounting has been the best decision I’ve made. We are taught very thoroughly by our tutors and I feel I have a great understanding of Accounting practices. We have a lot of resources to aid in our learning and development. I completed work experience at an Accountancy firm which I really enjoyed and has helped me grow in confidence.”
