Fellow student Fenisha who received Distinction ** for Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in Business and is going on to study BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance at Kingston University added,

The exams were stressful, but we had lots of support from our teachers and extra revision and preparation sessions to get us ready.”
