We were very impressed with the attentiveness and the general awareness of your students. As you know in this industry being aware of the latest techniques is all important, and I hope that all your students understood how lucky they were to have a tutor that was aware of latest techniques in the make up industry, and to gear the course accordingly."

Kate Benton, BBC and Film Make-up Artist

From my experience and from speaking to my staff the students have been an asset to your college. They demonstrated good positive attributes that we look for in our own employees and were enthusiastic in learning as much as they could from the Representatives."

"I’ve been really impressed by the quality of work produced by the Craven College students so far. They respond to our real brief with great maturity, professionalism, enthusiasm and technical capability. Having just seen the first cut, we’re really looking forward to the next stage, and we are already thinking about ideas for partnership projects in the future!"

Jo Foster, Regional Learning and Interpretation Officer, The National Trust (Yorkshire and the North East)

After gaining 10 GCSEs at grade C and above I chose to embark on the full-time L3 BTEC ICT programme at Craven College. I decided traditional A-levels would not give me the specialist knowledge or practical skills to achieve my dream of becoming a computer forensic analyst. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have been offered places at my preferred Universities and I feel well equipped to succeed at the next level.

The course I am on at the moment is very different and much more varied compared to what I have done before. In my first year I have had the opportunity to play the lead in the musical We Will Rock You and look forward to learning more each year.

My tutor was fantastic throughout my 2 years studying at Craven helping me to achieve my best and making the course as enjoyable and fun packed as it was. I am doing extremely well now studying at UCLan, coming out with high 2:1's in all 6 of the assignments I have already completed.

This course has been very exciting and fascinating. It has given me lots of great opportunities and has been a wonderful experience. The structure of the course and its projects are all a lot of fun and I have benefitted a lot from all the help of the wonderful tutors.

Overall I have enjoyed being part of Craven College and would always come back here to up-date my skills and knowledge about new techniques and treatments. The tutors are really friendly and helpful.

Completing the BTEC National Certificate alongside the AAT accounting qualifications at Craven College enabled me to find employment almost immediately in accounting.
