\u201cMy Level 1 course prepared me well for the move up to the Level 3 Business Diploma. I enjoy computing and I was supported to gain more skills. I was also involved in group activities and discussions which helped me grow in confidence and independence.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy tutors were great. They encouraged me to aim high but I never felt pressurised and I achieved more than I thought possible. When I completed my Level 3 business course I won the most dedicated student award, which made me very proud.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve now finished the first year of my Open University course and I\u2019m gaining experience by helping in my Dad\u2019s company. I also enjoy volunteering for Mencap \u2013 a role which Reaseheath set up for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best thing about being a college student was that we had fun while learning. I liked the daily routine, but I also enjoyed making new friends and hanging out with my group.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
