I found that the work I did at Stanmore College, along with my work placement, not only helped me achieve my Level 3 Childcare qualification, it also prepared me really well for university. The combination of practical experience and classroom learning gave me the confidence and skills I needed to take the next step in my studies.

I really enjoyed the wide variety of units on my course, and I was very pleased with my results. Studying the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma at Stanmore College gave me the knowledge and skills I needed to progress confidently to university. I went on to study a degree in Pharmaceutical Science at Middlesex University, and I was well prepared for this, thanks to the support and learning I received at Stanmore College.

I chose Stanmore College because it was the only one offering T Levels in Early Years, and it was the perfect choice for me. The course offered me deeper content and a much wider experience when it came to experiencing exams. With five different types of exams on the course, I felt that experiencing this range would help me be better prepared for university, where I aim to complete my Level 6 qualification. My vision is to become a room leader, work my way up, and eventually open my own nursery. I am proud to have a scholarship waiting for me, and I really excited about what the future holds.

I chose Stanmore College because it was the only college offering T Levels in the location I wanted. The course gave me the chance to experience real workplaces while still learning in the classroom, and that balance made all the difference to my confidence and career direction. The biggest advantage of the course for me was definitely the work experience. I had the chance to work in both a recruitment firm and a secondary school, which gave me valuable insight into two very different sectors. These opportunities not only helped me build skills but also gave me a clearer understanding of how the world of work operates and what might suit me best in the future.

I always knew I wanted to study Early Years, but my journey didn’t start in a straight line. I began with A levels, but soon realised I wanted a more direct and hands-on approach to learning. That’s when I made the switch to T Levels, and it was the best decision for me. The T Levels course gave me the practical experience and confidence I needed to pursue my dream of becoming a primary school teacher. My next step is to study Primary Education with Qualified Teacher Status, and I couldn’t be more excited about it.

I chose Stanmore College because it offered the right courses in my preferred location. I really enjoyed both the course and the work experience opportunities. They gave me the chance to apply what I was learning in real settings and helped me grow in ways I didn’t expect. Through the support of my tutors and the experiences I gained, I became much more confident in myself and my abilities. The course prepared me not only academically but also personally, and I now feel ready to take the next step. I’m excited to be going to university to study Primary Education with Qualified Teacher Status, and I know that everything I achieved at Stanmore has set me up for success in the future.
