After leaving school
I chose to study at
Derwentside College as
it offers an excellent
range of vocational
courses and is close to
where I live. Studying at
College has been great;
I’ve met so many new
people and made some
great friends. I love the
work placements on
offer as you get real
hands-on experience in
a variety of health and
social care settings. I
achieved my level 2
course with merits and
can’t wait to achieve my
level 3. My ambition is to
go to university to study
Mental Health.
