Foundation Apprenticeship in Business Skills
This is the right course for me as I wanted to gain a further qualification in business but also get the experience of a business environment for any future job. The mode of teaching was good and I have a great relationship with all my leacturers which made it easy to speak to them if I have any problems, they have made the course fun which has helped in getting the best out of me. This course has developed my understanding of business and helped me gain confidence in myself ad has allowed me to develop as a person. My plans are to go back to college and do professional cookery and become a chef and hopefully open my own café one day. Highlight of College has been making amazing friends and getting a qualification at the same time. Also putting myself out of my comfort zone. Three words to describe my experience is supportive, friendly and interesting.

Foundation Apprenticeship in Creative & Digital Media
Due to COVID-19 my course has been fully online but I have found It very effective and the best form of online learning yet. I have learned more about the creative sectors, improved my presentation skills, ability to write creative brief and how to present myself in front of a business official. I chose this course as I know I wanted to become an actor. My plans are to go to University either Glasgow or Edinburgh and hopefully act in TV shows or movies. My advice for anyone thinking about doing a course at College to take the opportunity as it is a very positive environment that will help you with many skills. I feel like I am always treated like an equal which improves my learning.
