I have really enjoyed my studies at Wakefield College and I am glad I came here instead of carrying on to do another year at sixth form. I have achieved the grades I needed in order to do what I want next year which is either a law course at Leeds Beckett or a degree apprenticeship.

During my time at Wakefield College studying Business Administration I developed many skills that will serve me for the rest of my life, as well as evolving significantly as a person.
I really like the people I work with which I think is quite important. I hope to stay with the Arcadis company and do a surveying apprenticeship.
