Student Stories

Alex T-Level Animal Management (Behaviour Pathway)

ā€œI really enjoy this course as we get a lot of hands-on experience with the practical's, the teachers are amazing, the environment of learning is really nice and it's just great being able to just work hands on with all the animals here. ā€

Ben Level 2 Land-Based Service Engineer (Apprenticeship)

ā€œI chose to do a apprenticeship because it allows me to have an income and have a bit more freedom with my life while still learning a trade and being in a professional working environment. It allows me to further my social skills as well as team building activities and also my solo work when I’m out doing jobs by myself.ā€

Eleanor T Level: Agriculture (Livestock)

ā€œI chose to do this course as it incorporates both practical and theory elements, and it also means I get to go on work placement. I get to see different livestock compared to just at the college as I enjoy working with a variety of animals.ā€
