Daisy Gray
“I chose the T level because I knew I would enjoy the combination of practical and theory, so I could put what I learned in college into practice in my industry placement at a local primary school, whilst developing new skills.
“The staff are also amazingly supportive in getting you through the course – they support students so well with weekly one-to-one meetings with our tutors to talk through issues.”
“When I started the T level I knew I wanted to specialise and I looked into Norland and the amazing opportunities that came with it. I immediately knew it was where I saw myself in the future.
“The college staff were incredibly supportive and went above and beyond in helping me work out what to do – they informed us about all of the options available to us after the course and gave us guidance so we could make fully-informed decisions.”
