BTEC Health & Social Care student, Shelby Craker, has achieved Triple Distinction*, equivalent to 3 A* at A Level, and has accepted a place to study BSc Paramedic Science at St George’s University.
Shelby says: “I chose BTEC as it allowed me to choose one subject that is my main focus which enabled me to pursue my career as a paramedic at university. I chose Kingston College as it stood out compared to other colleges, and had all of the BTEC health and social care units including science which many other colleges do not have.
“After I finish at Kingston College I will be studying Paramedic Science at St George’s University as it has been a childhood dream and BTEC has allowed me to do this.
“My favourite part of the course is how much you learn about public health and social care and the different career paths that people can go down after studying it. The teachers are super helpful when it comes to asking for help and will guide you through the challenging times.
“I had the pleasure of having two tutors who are both legends called Kristina and Janaya and they made my time at Kingston College 10x more exciting. We had the opportunity of hearing from guest speakers from all over the NHS and also private health care sectors.”
