Workstart Course

Why FVC:

I chose FVC because it had the further education course I needed.

Favourite Moment:

Sitting in the student union with my friends just talking were always great moments while I was at FVC, but I was also filmed here by Scottish Television when they were doing a story on World Down's Syndrome Day.

Chosen Career:

I really want to be a waitress and FVC have helped me really prepare for finding work with their vocational awareness and development classes which helped me prepare my CV.

Expected:

I expected it to be really different from school  - you get more freedom here and there are no bells.

Unexpected:

I was a wee bit scared when I first started at college as people were very quiet, but I settled in pretty quickly.

AOQ:

I really enjoyed my time here and I would recommend the college to anyone. The staff were really fantastic and studying here has helped me with my work as a trainer with Down's Syndrome Scotland.  I travel around Scotland giving presentations and talks to get the message across that people with Down's Syndrome are the same as everyone else.
