Emma Jade Laughton, 18 - Diploma in Child Care and Education
Emma is currently studying for the Diploma in Childcare and Education after completing a year at sixth form which she felt did not help her on her way to her ultimate career goal.
"I have really enjoyed the placements which include working in a reception class and in a nursery and they have both offered me a range of experiences that I will find very useful in the future as well as gaining work experience in the summer holiday with one of my placements.
You always get the help, guidance and encouragement when you need it - the tutors really do care about each individual. My personal tutor has offered me guidance and support in making decisions and shown that she wants what is best for me.
I would recommend this course to others who would like to gain a Level 3 qualification and who want a range of different experiences with different age groups and environments."
Once Emma completes her course she plans to gain employment in a nursery.
