BTEC Sports Level 3.
I had it on my mind before going to the college.
Because the course fit in perfectly with my career aims.
Everything! From the teachers to my class mates and the most important thing I learned was how to gain new knowledge independently.
They’re always willing to help someone who’s struggling.
A calm and good atmosphere I’d say.
Expanding my knowledge.
Decide your own future.
I’d highly recommend the college to someone who’s committed to hard work and wants to be someone in life.
Enjoyable , ambitious and adventurous.
I am a professional footballer for South Shields FC.
It played a big part in me becoming the person I am now.
