Student Profiles
Level 3 Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools Apprenticeship
Career aims: I have accepted a place at the University of Portsmouth to study a degree in English and Creative Writing. I aim to become a Teacher of English in Further Education.
I gained a lot of confidence through my apprenticeship and it helped to further my passion for working in an educational environment. The College supported me throughout my entire journey by encouraging me to step outside my comfort zone. They helped me to grow into a self-assured person. I had the opportunity to assist with lesson planning, marking and even had a go at delivering parts of the lesson.
