Emma Farrington
Previous school: Sir Thomas Boteler
College course: Level 3 Brickwork
Emma first chose to study Brickwork at Warrington & Vale Royal College because she was unsure which career path she wanted to pursue but felt that learning a trade would open up a range of opportunities. Having never enjoyed a traditional classroom environment, she was keen to take a more hands-on approach to learning.
During her time at college, Emma particularly valued the support of her tutors, who made her feel like part of a family and helped her build confidence in her abilities. She also enjoyed gaining real-world experience through on-site industry placement, giving her a greater understanding of how the sector operates.
"I would definitely recommend a brickwork course at Warrington & Vale Royal College. It's been the best two years of my life. The tutors really care about you, make you feel seen, and helped me find a career path I hadn't previously considered."
Tyler Abass
Previous school: Hope Academy
College course: Level 3 Travel & Tourism
Tyler is setting his sights on the skies with his goal of working in commercial aviation! Tyler feels his course is the perfect starting point for his ambition, and feels he has already learned a great deal, including a wide range of essential communication, leadership and customer service skills.
“Travel & tourism has been the perfect choice for my career goals! The course is practical, the modules are in-depth and industry-focused, and the tutors have so much valuable knowledge to share."
Madeline Kelly
Previous school: Beamont Collegiate Academy
College course: Level 3 Military & Emergency Services
Madeline chose to study Military and Emergency Services because it aligned perfectly with her career ambitions of becoming either an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) or a Paramedic. Since joining the college, she has particularly enjoyed the practical aspects of the course, including the variety of trips, which have made her learning experience both engaging and informative.
“This course has shown me the value of the emergency services in today’s society. Throughout my studies, I have felt well supported by my tutors, who always encourage me to aim high and reach my full potential.”
Euan Kemp
Previous school: Byrchall High School
College course: Level 3 Graphic Design & Illustration
While at the college, Euan has been involved in a range of live briefs, from logo design to social media campaigns, helping him to develop strong foundational skills and techniques essential for a career in graphic design. The course also enabled him to explore his own creative style, identifying personal favourite projects and software along the way.
Now having been offered a place at the University of Portsmouth, Euan is grateful for the opportunities that completing a level 3 qualification has provided.
“My course was really rewarding and I can still access higher education just as I could have if I'd chosen an A-level route. But my course had the added benefit of having tonnes of industry experience, too! Now, I feel very confident in my abilities, and I am ready to face new challenges in higher education.”
