Doing the course for 1 year as a foundation year to progress onto child nursing. Staff are friendly and can be helpful, the course content is good however a lot of stuff I have done in college so sometimes feel as though I am not learning much. But still informative. A lot of opportunities can arise from the course but additional courses have do be done to reach them and the jobs that can be gained solely from this course can be obtained without the degree. Good if you would just like a qualification in something but jobs can be reachable through other routes read more

Such a good course to choose! I want to become a child psychologist so thought this would take me down that route whilst giving me many other options available if I change my mind. The staff are brilliant and are always there if you need help or support. read more

I feel I am very lucky to gain the experience I will on this course but feel that the course lacks in the amount of teaching days we get in comparison to the price we pay. In seminar 2 I have been scheduled to two days a week which I don’t feel is good value for money. But I really enjoy my course as a whole. read more
