Business Administration ApprenticeI really enjoyed working at The Frank Bruno Foundation as a Business Administration apprentice, and I definitely grew in confidence during my time there. In my role, I was responsible for lots of different things, mainly dealing with numbers, statistics and figures. I'm particularly proud that I was awarded 'Best Apprentice' at the College's Booth Lane Awards Ceremony. I have now completed my apprenticeship, having passed my end point assessment with a distinction, and secured employment at Network Rail.

T Level Health (Adult Nursing)I decided to do a T Level course because it provides me with everything I need to become a nurse and includes an industry placement, so I can gain healthcare experience. The facilities at college are amazing, including resources used in real clinical settings and responsive mannequins so we can put our skills into practice. College has given me the core components I need to succeed in nursing, and has helped me improve my people skills so I'm ready for future patients.

Health and Social CareI loved my Health and Social Care course and the opportunities it has given me. In particular, I really enjoyed my work experience placement at Northampton General Hospital, where I got to see each department first-hand, as this really helped me to decide which area to specialise in for my career. After completing my course, I was able to secure a physiotherapy assistant job as well as a place at The University of Leicester to study physiotherapy.
