He had already secured 120 Open University credits but opted study at the College because of way the course was structured.
“I felt I needed to improve my Highlight knowledge of health and social care. The course included 200 hours of work placement so I was able to experience a variety of different healthcare environments,” he says, adding that tutor support and an opportunity to mentor childcare students were also important factors in helping him come to a decision.
“The course is very student centred with a focus on helping every individual to achieve their best.” Having successfully completed an Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care, Chad’s next step on his journey to a career in nursing is to study Adult Nursing at university.
