“The tutors genuinely care”, says BTEC in IT student Abigale, who achieved DDD, equivalent to 3 A grades at A Level. “I've always been into IT and wanted to do something practical rather than just sitting exams and Kingston College had a good reputation for the BTEC so it made sense. I learn better by doing things hands-on rather than just writing essays. BTEC felt more relevant to me to what I actually want to do.
“My tutors were always approachable and willing to help when I've been stuck. I never felt like I couldn't ask a question. The tutors genuinely care and the course actually prepares you for real life.”
