Prior to joining the
College I had studied my
GCSEs at Tanfield School.
I’m passionate about
childcare and my
experience here has
been great. I’ve learnt so
much from the tutors;
they have really helped
me develop my
knowledge, so much so
that when I complete the
course I’m hoping to
secure a job in a local
school as a teaching
assistant.
