"Sixth form didn't really suit me; I thought that Suffolk New College would prepare me for the future better and I was right. I really liked the course, going to placements while learning really helped me gain knowledge of the childcare industry. My tutors were great, they were helpful and always willing to talk to me and give me advice when I needed it. I would recommend Suffolk New College to anyone, it's enjoyable and a great experience. I've just started at University Of Suffolk studying Early Childhood Studies, the College really helped me to develop my learning and now I feel I can go on and improve my skills at university."
