Case Studies
Adam
Studying Enterprise Level 3
The course kick-started my business and with it I was named National Entrepreneur of the Year by the Peter Jones Foundation. When I do business I feel alive, I get such a buzz out of it. The environment at Kirklees College is fresh and you feel professional.
Shanaz
Level 3 BTEC Diploma Business
I chose to come to Kirklees College as I had heard that they had really good facilities. Before coming to college I didn’t know anybody, and the course has helped me make a lot of new friends who are a great support network. I’ve managed to achieve distinctions in all my assignments and this is down to the tutors.
Ujas

I chose this course as my strengths rely heavily on communication with people and adapting to situations with my skillset. I enjoy problem solving and the tutors are enthusiastic about guiding us on the right path. After this course, I would like to go to university to study business management to become an entrepreneur.
