"I’ve just started a position as a volunteer porter for the North East Ambulance Service, and I’m planning on going to University soon to fulfil my dream of working in the medical field in the UK. My tutor told me about the porter role, and how it might help with my University applications, and then helped me to apply. I honestly don’t think I could have done it without him. I'm closer to my dream than I've ever been, and that's because of my time here at Newcastle College."

"Before I started at the college, I didn’t have really any experience with laptops and computers, but I got lots of experience with both on the level 1 course, and I feel much more confident. I’m excited to learn even more on the Level 2 course that I’ve just started."
