Testimonials

Feedback from Previous Academy Participants

"I just want to say that I really enjoyed the academy and found all the sessions this week very interesting. Thank you so much for providing us with useful resources such as the document full of links and the presenter's PowerPoints. I know this will be very useful when deciding my next steps."

"I benefitted from the fact we get to ask questions as when you're studying in college the majority of the time you get taught the knowledge but don’t get the honest insight into what it’s actually like as your teacher isn’t experienced in that sector."

"I found this Academy very interesting, learning about different roles and how important they are, as well as understanding the fundamental characteristics needed in Health and Care careers."

"Thank you very much! I learnt so much about jobs that I hadn't previously considered."
