I found my time at Kirklees College enjoyable, supportive and life-changing. The college was easily accessible with good teaching facilities at the new Pioneer Higher Skills Centre. It gave me the opportunity to work with some great people, some of whom are now friends for life, whilst studying a fantastic course.
When I first started I was nervous but your confidence soon grows. You are very much treated like an adult. I’d recommend this course as it’s exciting and rewarding. My end goal is to become a person-centred counsellor.
