“Going to Canterbury Christ Church University was one of the best trips we went on.
“It gave me an idea of what university life is all about, so I can think about this in the future as an option.
“I would recommend the course as it gives you an insight into these things and lets you be confident.”
Jack
Level 2 Business
“I’ve been learning where my next step could be and how I can action that.
“One example was when we went to ‘Launch It’, where we explored how to start your own business.
“The skills I’ve picked up I can now use in a workplace. I’ve also made good friends along the way.”
Troy

“I like studying Business here because it’s practical. You can get actual events organised and play a part in them.
“They didn’t do a business course at my school and I thought it would be nice to just have knowledge on the business industry so I could go into any role.
“I definitely recommend it because I love it. To be honest, I wish it was longer!”
