Georgie's Computing Experience

'T Level Student of the Year 2024' – BCS

“I’m excited to be starting a Degree Apprenticeship with Dunelm, in the future I’m aiming to become a Senior Data Analysist, working on large scale projects.

“I’m really thankful for my time at College. Originally I thought I would study something within the arts, but when I saw the new Digital T Level advertised it caught my eye and sounded really interesting, so I figured I’d give it a go. I’m so glad I did as I’ve now found a new passion and a completely different career path that excites me.

“My time at College as really helped build my confidence. I’ve matured so much and am now much more comfortable and ready to pursue new things.

“One thing I learnt during my time at EKC Ashford College is to really take every opportunity as they come.”
