What Do our
Students Think?

"I dropped out of in person education due to mental health difficulties and autism. I found that A-Levels weren’t for me and having an interest in crime and policing but a desire to go get a degree, I followed my interests and decided on access to get back to in person education and expand my knowledge. This has built my confidence and given to me an opportunity to explore career paths. Beyond this course I am going to study Professional Policing at university with the hope of joining the police and eventually become a dog handler."
