Testimonial
‘Going back to college as a mature student was a daunting prospect but I was amazed at the age range of students in the college. With parking and state of the art facilities – particularly in the performing arts course it has everything you need. We have an amazing studio space, amazing teachers and going back to study was a great experience for me.’
