    I’m so glad I was able to spend the last 2 years focused on Art, rather than having to study 3 different subjects

    I studied Level 2 Maths and English and successfully passed both. It was a great course, and it was great working in a smaller group. I’ve made friends for life and I’m considering progressing to another part-time course with the College.
