Today marks an exciting moment for students at EKC Ashford College as they collect their Level 3 results!
With many securing places at their chosen university, and others preparing to start full-time work or apprenticeships, there was a buzz across at EKC Ashford College today as students attended the College to find out their results.
Seye | T Level Digital Production, Design and Development | Distinction
Progression: Degree Apprenticeship in Data Engineering with Shell UK in London
Seye waited for his friends to arrive before collecting his results. He was already sure of his progression and was confident he would receive top marks.
“I did 50+ applications when I heard about degree apprenticeships; a lot of applications, interviews, visiting assessment centres,” he said.
“The work experience from the T Level helped a lot. It strengthened my CV for my applications. The T Level course content is also related to the apprenticeship I’ll be doing.”
Tyler | Level 3 Diploma in Creative Media Production and Technology for Games Art, Concept Design and 3D Production | Merit
Progression: Norwich University of the Arts for Games Design
Tyler spent some time celebrating with his lecturers after collecting his results.
“I got the grade I needed. I’m off to Norwich now. It was four years of hard work. It’s something I’ve been aiming for for the majority of my life, so this is a relief now,” he said.
Natalie | T Level Engineering, Manufacturing, Processing and Control | Merit
Progression: Kingston University to study Aerospace Engineering
We spoke to Natalie as she was nervously waiting to collect her results.
“The learning during the course was amazing, but the final exams were tough,” she said.
“My dream is to be a pilot, but I’m going to take a gap year this year, and then next year go to university and study aerospace engineering. I’ve already been accepted. I saw my message this morning.”
After speaking to us, she collected her results and received a Merit.
Jack | Level 3 Photography | Distinction
Progression: Canterbury Christ Church University to study Photography
Jack was surprised to receive a Distinction for his Level 3 Photography course. He plans to continue his studies at university.
“I’ve done photography for seven years, so I really want to make something out of it because I enjoy it,” Jack said.
“My tutor has helped me a lot. He showed me techniques to make the processes slightly easier. He’s been a massive help through the whole process.”
Moyo | Access to Higher Education: Criminology, Social Sciences and Education | 33 Distinctions, 2 Merits, 1 Pass
Progression: Degree Apprenticeship with Irwin Mitchell Solicitors
Moyo attended Results Day with her sister and was sad to be visiting EKC Ashford College for the last time.
“The College helped me with the beginning of my applications and also with encouragement. Because of my age and immigration status, it’s very hard for me to get an apprenticeship in the first place. My teachers have been a very good support system,” she said.
Principal Lucy Clark, who congratulated all students collecting their results, said: “Today will be a key moment for many young people, as it marks the end of one journey and the start of another.
“I want to congratulate all those who achieved and reassure anyone who didn’t get what they were hoping for that we have plenty of advice and guidance on hand; there is a path for everyone, even if it turns out to be different to what you had originally planned.”
Congratulations to our successful student and good luck in the future!
