LISA Throughout Access to Teaching I enjoyed the science units therefore wanted to learn more about the subject. I gained a lot of practical and personal skills within science, organisation and time management. The confidence that I have now is fantastic. It was a great honour to win the Outstanding Achievement Award, I was surprised to have even been nominated. College had many benefits and was a fantastic experience as I felt encouraged every step of the way. The lecturers were patient and supportive, they made a difference. I’ve made life long friends while at college. I’m studying towards a degree in Applied Bioscience at university and my long term plan is to gain a teaching qualification. I’m looking forward to using my knowledge of science to make the subject fun and interesting for school children. “Lisa has performed at the highest level despite substantial personal issues.
