Name: Robin Hammett
Age: 45
Course: YMCA Diploma in Health, Fitness and Exercise Instruction Level 2 and Personal Training (Practitioner) 鈥� YMCA Level 3 Diploma
Part time, day study

鈥淚 was very nervous before starting college as it had been 27 years since I had left school. But the course is fantastic – it is so different from school. It鈥檚 all adults who want to achieve something. Being a mature student was daunting, but within the first few days I made a lot of friends – some will be close friends for life. The tutors are amazing and will do whatever it takes to help you through the course. As long as you put the effort in, they will go above and beyond to really be there for you.鈥�

Name: Carys Gwillym
Age: 28
Course: CIPD Certificate Level 3 Foundation Human Resources Practice聽
Part time, day study

鈥淚 studied CIPD Level 3 Human Resources Practice. I chose this subject at 麻豆传媒团队, as I was looking to get into this sector of work and most companies ask for candidates to be CIPD qualified. My goal is to progress with my HR Career and complete further CIPD courses, so I also wanted to refresh and further my knowledge. I thoroughly enjoyed studying a topic I enjoy, and I鈥檇 advise you to make sure you take the time to research any topics you are going to study and make the best decision for you.鈥�

Name: Pamela Brewer
Age: 59
Course: Crochet for Beginners
Part time, day study

鈥淚 wanted to learn to crochet properly, and 麻豆传媒团队鈥檚 beginners鈥� course was ideal. Progression through basic stitches with a chosen outcome helped keep me interested, and producing a vast range of finished items to wear, use, and gift to others (such as the NHS) has been fulfilling. Each project was supported by the tutor, Carrie, as well as my fellow students in a relaxed atmosphere, and this was ideal for me as a mature 鈥榟obby鈥� learner. I am now confident in reading and interpreting easy patterns and am attempting more advanced work, and socially, I now stay in touch with like-minded crafters.鈥�

Name: Kieron Cole
Age: 22
Course: BSc (Hons) Top Up Veterinary Nursing
Higher education, full time study

鈥淔rom studying with 麻豆传媒团队 for the last 6 years, I have found most definitely the teachers, support, friends and opportunities to be the best things. I know if it wasn鈥檛 for Usk Campus, I would not be where I am now or working in a job that I absolutely adore. Also, I truly believe I would not be as confident as I am now. My biggest challenge prior to attending college was nerves and anxiety. I started at 麻豆传媒团队 and was completely alone and didn鈥檛 know anybody on my course. I also wasn鈥檛 the most confident person and was rather shy. As my confidence in myself slowly grew at college, I was more confident going to placements which overall, I believed help me with my employability skills.鈥�
