This course equipped me with many valuable skills which allowed me to secure a job within the NHS and quickly adapt to my new role.

The course is really interesting, and I feel like I will be well prepared for my first job.

I can say with certainty that without the skills I acquired at Teesside, I would not have been able to secure my current job role or move to Canada.
