“I decided to come back into education as I wanted to retrain to work in the education sector. Ten years ago when I was working in Australia I had the opportunity to work in a childcare centre and since then I knew that I wanted to work in a school.

“Middlesbrough College’s Diploma for Early Years Practitioner is helping me to gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to work as a professional within the childcare and education sector and I’m loving every minute of studying here! I’ve made lots of new friends and everyone has been really helpful and supportive. My tutors are fantastic and will always help me if I ever need it.”
