Case study

Daniel Lloyd
BTEC ITWork
Daniel was nervous at the start of his course but soon made friends and he started to gain confidence with the support of his tutors.

OEMy year went great and my tutors gave me a lot of support when I needed it. I had an excellent learning experience at College and also gained a lot of confidence. I found the work difficult at first but then I got my head down and tried my best to complete my course. My personal tutor and her College assistant gave me a lot of support throughout the year and I am very thankful.
