The knowledge and skills I've gained at the College have also helped me to get a job as a Barman - my manager was really impressed when he heard about what I'd picked up on my course!

Although it was a lot of hard work I’m so pleased I went for it! I was a bit worried with the new exam board but everyone involved was so helpful and supportive with me. I am now working as a Chef in The Falcon and I could not be happier.
