Our outstanding reputation and the fact we were local, was enough for Tim to enrol on one of our Computing courses. However, he loved it that much here, he studied all the way up to degree level, a decision he’s not regretted one bit as he graduated with a first class degree and walked straight in to a job as a developer.

“I’d heard good reviews about the computing course on offer here, and after looking at the course specification I realised it was exactly what I was looking for. I have always been interested in website and app development and this course gave me the chance to create a range of different products, which although quite challenging at times, was something I really enjoyed.

“When I was coming to the end of the course, I felt so at home here and I knew the tutors really well, that staying and studying towards a degree in Computing was a natural progression.

“I’m now working as a website and application developer for a logistics firm, creating new systems and improving efficiencies, and building on the skills I learnt at college.

“My time at college really helped me to grow in confidence and allowed me to learn in a more practical environment that is similar to the industry; so going in to a job was less daunting. Ultimately, the course set me up with a career in computing much sooner than I ever expected.”
