My course enabled me to explore so many different aspects of Art & Design that I would not have had the opportunity to do if I had followed the traditional A-Level route.Chelsea O’Kane (Art & Design) -
I wanted better job opportunities and the Access course gave me the pathway towards the career I’ve always dreamed of. It was quite daunting returning to college but I found all the staff at Strabane campus really helpful and friendly. They made the experience so enjoyable.Elaine Mythen (Health & Welfare)
