My Farnborough Story

Lauren
I didn’t know anyone when I started the Level 3 course, but now I have a good group of friends. We always help each other with our assignments so its helpful to have friends on the same course. I really like that there are a lot of options when studying health and social care, there are lots of different jobs attached to the course.

I’ve done two work experience placements this year; one in a children’s nursery and the other in an adult residential care home.The work placements have really helped me build my confidence working with adults and I learnt a lot about personal care, the staff on placement also gave me 1-1 support and guidance throughout my work days.

I did a year of A Levels and found it wasn’t for me. I’ve found that college is more of an independent environment, but you still get the support from the tutors if you need it.

I would recommend future students to come here for the placement factor, and if you feel you need extra support, you would get that here too. I really want to go to University after this course to study Midwifery, so I'm excited for what the future holds.
