    I’m a Team Lead in the Operations department at Payscape and I completed this course as part of my professional development. I really enjoyed it, the online format made it easy to fit around work. The sessions were helpful and relevant to my role. I’d recommend it to anyone pursuing leadership and management qualifications.

    The traditional route of A-Levels just wasn’t for me. My years at NWRC were amazing, significantly shaping my creative journey. The facilities and lecturers are the best. I felt incredibly prepared to study Fashion Design at Ulster University.
