On completion of your course, you will have learnt a variety of transferable skills that are recognised by employers, universities and colleges as being of great value.

If you wish to continue your studies, you can study higher education level courses at University Centre Somerset or other universities.
My tutors have helped me think about my future and whether I want to progress to the Level 3 qualification or start an Apprenticeship at Musgrove Park Hospital. Either option leads me to university and becoming a fully qualified paediatric nurse.
