I won 拢400 in prize money which I spent on a trip to France and some new clothes.

鈥淚 really enjoyed my course. We covered a lot of areas and it gave me lot of freedom and choice to learn more about things I was interested in. The tutors were always helpful and gave us loads of advice. There was a lot of hard work but it was worth it and is paying off now.鈥�
