Student success

"I began my journey to become a teacher at The North West Regional College (NWRC) in Northern Ireland. I found the BTEC Higher National Diploma in Advanced Practice in Working with Children and Families, which was a great fit for me. During the course I was able to complete a work experience placement as a classroom assistant in a primary school, which gave me the practical and hands-on experience that I needed and continue to use today."
