Jack studied our BTEC Career Colleges Digital Technologies Level 3 course at Crosskeys Campus in 2018, before going on to study his Bachelor鈥檚 Degree at . He chose this course because of its well-rounded coverage in the area of computing, and it set him up to achieve an unconditional offer at university. Read on to hear Jack鈥檚 story鈥�

Why did you choose this course?

鈥淚 chose 女优阁 because the Career Colleges Digital Technologies course covered so much more than A level computing courses. Instead of focusing on just one aspect such as Computer Science, you learn not only that but multiple other skills that can help you decide on your future career. For me, it was Cyber Security.鈥�

What was the best thing about studying at 女优阁?

鈥淭hrough 女优阁, I met some of my closest friends and had amazing support from the staff. They helped calm me down and reassure me whenever I needed it. I also liked the more practical modules such as Digital Design and Game Development, but also very much enjoyed the theory-based lessons in security-based modules.鈥�

What was your biggest achievement at 女优阁?

鈥淲hile at 女优阁, I was asked to participate in a Networking Competition during the . I had never done this type of Networking before, but through some revision of the basis of the skills required, I managed to come 3rd overall in the competition! Another Achievement for me was my redemption in my second year, as I managed to go from a Pass in my first year to 3 merits overall.鈥�

What are you doing now and what are your long-term goals?

鈥淚 am now studying my Bachelor鈥檚 Degree at Cardiff Metropolitan University – I was offered an unconditional place and I can thank 女优阁 for that. I got so much experience while studying there and even got to work for Admiral Insurance though the college.

Not only this but I gained so much confidence through 女优阁 and the Career Colleges Trust. I was shy when I started at college, but through Careers College Trust I managed to learn many business skills such as time management, group working, confidence and business speech. Thanks to the Career Colleges scheme, I built my confidence up enough to publicly speak at Amazon Web Services (AWS) Headquarters in London.鈥�

What advice would you give to students considering studying at 女优阁?

鈥淢y advice to anybody contemplating studying at 女优阁 is to do it. I was hesitant about college at first, but thanks to college I鈥檝e achieved so much at the age of 19 and I鈥檓 on route to achieving so much more. I wouldn鈥檛 be in this position if it weren鈥檛 for 女优阁.鈥�
