“I enjoyed studying at Barnsley College; the tutors ensured the course was accessible to adults who work, other colleges don’t always offer this flexibility. I always enjoyed the lessons as they were engaging and often included a variety of teaching methods; helpful after a long day at work!”

Operations Management Level 5 Apprenticeship
“The course was great as it gave me flexibility to improve myself whilst still holding down a full-time job. My tutor was great, and she was available most days when I wanted to call her for advice or help. This proved invaluable during the last year of my course as face-to-face contact was not an option.”

“The best part is that feeling when you get your ‘pass’ grade through the post after your exam. I’ve learned so much, but for me, it’s not just about what I’ve learned but the fact I was able to learn it and succeed, giving me more belief in myself.”
