"It’s a very creative course and you have a lot of freedom of ideas but it’s a lot of fun, my favourite part is filming and editing and doing research. It’s been really good here and issues I have had have been resolved and the College is very good, my tutors are amazing, Sonia is so good and I have gone to a whole new level on level 3, I feel like I’ve learned a lot more in terms of production and sound.

"Tutors are really supportive, and at the beginning of term things were getting stressful, but my tutor really supported us and we all communicated well together to solve the issue. I did a media course at school but teaching wise it’s a lot better here and there’s much more detail and it was not as helpful at school so I like it at College. The facilities are really good especially the green screen room, you can film what you want and the lighting is good and we have everything we need."
