“My expectations were instantly blown out of the water." Aaron Medina, BTEC in Digital Art, Animation and Games Design
“My expectations were instantly blown out of the water. Going for a BTEC qualification gave me first-hand experience of what it's like within the creative industry. Undergoing work placements, listening to talks from well-established professionals, and doing digital/traditional coursework helped me gain insight into what I might do in my future career. My incredibly supportive tutors and amazing peers allowed me to have a more enjoyable adventure throughout the course. The course encourages you to embrace your creativity and willingness to go beyond, and provides a fun and fulfilling experience.”
Aaron, gained a Triple Distinction*, equivalent to 3 A* at A Level, and is now studying Computer Science at university.
