Student of the Year Award

 

First place - £100

Four runner-up awards of £25 each

Plus a Certificate of Achievement for all winners!

It’s an exciting time for us as we launch Student of the Year Award 2014. We are always interested to know how our courses have affected the everyday lives of our students and we want to give special recognition to those who, we feel, have excelled since joining us. And this year we are accepting video entries too!

We want to know how your life has improved since taking your course – have you had a wage increase, gained a new job, started a business, taken on community work or gone on to further study? But that’s not all, we also want to know how your personal life has improved – have you gained more confidence, joined any clubs or realised you now have the skills to participate in activities you’d never dreamed of before?

Entry is open to all students – past and present – and it’s free to take part! Please see below for details on how to send your entry.

The winner will receive a £100 cash prize and there are four runners-up awards of £25 each. The winner’s details, including their photograph, will be published on our website and in other promotional material. Plus, each winner will receive a Certificate of Achievement as a tribute to their success.

The award will be judged in February 2014. So, if you would like to put yourself forward to be considered as Student of The Year 2014 then your application must be received by 31st January 2014. The winners will be chosen by Director of Studies, Diana Nadin and Chairman, Susan Metcalfe.

We are excited to see how your life has changed as a result of enrolling with us and we can’t wait to receive your entries. Don’t forget, being judged the winner of our Student of The Year Award 2014 could give you that little extra something that takes your career to the next level.
