Christopher described his time at Sunderland College as rewarding. He progressed to a retail management apprenticeship and is now at Sunderland University reading Business Management in order to develop his career.

He said:
“I decided to study at Sunderland College because of the locality and its impressive pass statistics. Bede campus has history behind it, which made the location special. Even though it is old, the building was well maintained.

The best thing I liked about my time at college was the quality of the teaching staff. They are very knowledgeable in their area of expertise, the support was good and they always had time to provide feedback. The course covered a wide range of business subject in-depth, sometimes university does not go into as much depth.”
