I achieved an A* in Health and Social Care. Studying this course at Stanmore College has given me valuable knowledge about supporting individuals, as well as the opportunity to develop strong communication and teamwork skills. As a result, I now feel more confident about my future studies and building a career in the health and social care sector.

It also helped me build practical skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and empathy, all of which are essential when working with patients and healthcare professionals.

“Choosing Stanmore College was a game-changer for me. It was the only place offering T Levels in IT, which I needed to secure an apprenticeship. The support they gave throughout my journey was incredible, especially when it came to helping students with their career choices. Not only is the College known for its strong employment rates, but they also offer great opportunities like engaging trips that enrich your experience. My T Levels played a crucial role in helping me land valuable work experience. I was able to show transferrable skills on my CV and that set me apart. As a result, I have confirmed a Level 4 apprenticeship with Telstra International, based in over 90 countries worldwide providing data services to companies like the NHS and Google! I’m truly grateful for how Stanmore College has kickstarted my career path.”

These courses have not only helped me in my job but have also empowered me in everyday life. I feel more capable and ready to take on new challenges. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve their skills and grow personally and professionally.”

“I chose Stanmore College because it was one of the few colleges offering Access Courses for individuals over 18 and was the only one willing to accommodate my late enrolment. The supportive teachers and excellent course, even during the challenges of COVID-19, played a key role in my success. My time at Stanmore built my confidence, strengthened my skills in mathematics, engineering, and IT, and prepared me for university. After completing my Access Course, I received a scholarship to study Mechanical Engineering at Queen Mary University of London, where I will graduate in summer 2024. I’m incredibly grateful to Stanmore College for shaping my future and helping me achieve my goals.”
