Student Story - Lauren Smith, HNC Childhood Practice
I have really enjoyed this course. The lecturers are so helpful and supportive which makes learning fun. I like the flexibility of the course and I can attend in person or online at home.
I am a hands-on learner, so being on placement at a nursery was very helpful. I am now a nursery employee and can fit this in with my studies. I plan to continue with the Child and Youth Studies degree and then possibly do a post-grad in primary teaching.
