"THE ACCESS TEAM AND STAFF AT SHIPLEY COLLEGE HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY HELPFUL THROUGHOUT."
"Along with our subjects, we have received a lot of additional support, such as CV writing and interview preparation. I finally
feel ready and prepared to attend university now that I have all of this in mind. I can't express my gratitude to the faculty, staff, and other members of Shipley College enough for making my time here as enjoyable and productive as possible. All students, particularly mature students such as myself who are wanting to progress their education into university, should sign up
for a course here because of the encouragement and guidance available."
