Case study
Leah Metcalfe
BTEC National Diploma in Art and Design
Whilst doing her BTEC National Diploma in Art and Design, Leah became passionate about photography. In her second year she won a place at Blackpool and Fylde College to study it at degree level. She has since done photography for NME and has been asked by Redemption TV to create an exhibition of her work for their London studio. The music channel is even looking to produce a documentary about her.
OEI have really enjoyed my time at West Cheshire College and I have gained a lot from it. I would not have been able to do it without the help and support from tutors and friends on the course.
