What are University Level qualifications?

“As I create art I wanted to be surrounded by other creatives so that we could bounce off each other and learn a lot from our experiences.

The college course has been really good so far and I’m enjoying every minute of it.”

“Not only do I get to work with a massive variety of animals (Spring Lane has over 100 different species) but I also love working with the staff members and getting to teach younger students.

As I share my knowledge I get to help students expand their knowledge as well as improve my skillset for the future.”

Charlotte

“The things I enjoy most about studying within the Higher Education course are the practical elements.

We actually get to build all the different types of circuits that we are studying about as well as an in-depth look at the theory side of things.”
