Laura Holbrook Distance Learning I started doing distance learning through work. It's helped me get the qualifications I need to support my job and has provided me with the opportunity to work my way up. Doing these courses has really opened up my knowledge in areas like MRSA and Dementia. I study in my spare time at home and around work. I often speak on the phone to my tutor. She's great and has given me a lot of help and support. Distance learning is great for those who can't afford to go to college and is good for those with children. They are good courses to take up and the certificates you get are recognised by the NHS. 17 Inspiration Determination Achievement

Catering and Hospitality Working in catering in hospitality is both exciting and rewarding. Take advantage of the in house expertise and learn from our highly qualified and experienced tutors. To help us continue to develop, maintain and provide a high standard of training we have some fantastic links with local businesses and world renowned chefs who provide their knowledge, flair and masterful culinary skills. The College has an excellent gourmet training restaurant, The Wharncliffe. It is open to the public at lunchtimes and in the evening, providing students with first-hand experience of a working restaurant. The students gain so much from working in both the kitchens and the restaurant serving freshly prepared food to their customers. 18 Inspiration Determination Achievement
