Why study with us?

There is plenty of additional enrichment to the Level 1 program. Students regularly take part in trips and visits to enrich the curriculum delivery. Students will not only study the Level 1 content but will start to get themselves prepared for the next level of study, as tutors weave in Level 2 content as the course develops to help learners with their progression.
