I felt there was a lot of support at College from tutors and other staff. The course is the reason why I got a place at university. It prepared me and helped with completing assignments and referencing which made it easier at university. My placements gave me a greater understanding of what a job in health and social care could be like. It was the best decision I made in terms of my career pathway.
