I  really enjoy my course because it’s incredibly creative and allows me to  express myself in a practical way.

One of the things I love is that I have  my own space and booths, which give me the freedom to work  independently and focus on my projects. It’s a perfect balance between  hands-on work and learning the theory behind it. 

Having my own booth really helps me learn because it makes me more  independent. I feel like I’m in my own little world, free from distractions, which helps me focus and develop my skills.

The supportive staff and  my classmates are always there to help if I need it. If I’m struggling with  something, I can easily speak to my teachers, and they’re really helpful. The college’s design of the learning  environment really encourages confidence and self-reliance. 

My future goal is to work in this industry and eventually start my own  business. I haven’t done work placement yet, but I plan to next year. I  believe that gaining real-world experience will give me valuable insights  into the industry and help me understand how to succeed outside of the  classroom. The college’s emphasis on practical skills and real-life  scenarios makes a big difference in preparing students for their careers. Practicing in our dedicated areas like my booth is especially beneficial  because it teaches me how to think for myself and solve problems  independently. If I make a mistake, I can learn how to fix it, which builds  my confidence and skills. This hands-on approach truly prepares  students for the realities of a future career.

The college’s facilities and supportive environment have made my  learning experience incredibly positive, and I feel confident that I am  gaining the skills I need for my future in painting and decorating.
