REBECCA GCSE SCIENCE - LEVEL 2

Rebecca chose Preston College as her first choice because of its convenient location and the opportunity to study GCSE Combined Science. She sees the qualification as a stepping stone towards higher-level study or a future apprenticeship, as she works towards becoming either a dental technician or dental hygienist. A key part of Rebecca’s experience has been the support from her tutors, who she says make lessons engaging, approachable and easier to understand. Their friendly and welcoming attitude has helped simplify complex topics and build her confidence in the classroom.

“Studying at Preston College has been such a positive experience. Tutors and peers treat each other as equals and are always ready to help. It has boosted my confidence and strengthened my ambitions for the future as I continue planning my career.”
