Testimonials

Learning and gaining knowledge from practising different methods during placement, as well as in workshops, has been really beneficial. I think it’s a much better way of learning about the subject rather than simply reading it from a textbook. Sara Mercatali T Level Health and Social Care

The course has been challenging but very rewarding. My tutors are always kind and encouraging, and I truly believe their support has helped me get to this stage. Halimah Jaaffari Access to Higher Education – Allied Health Professions

With the support I received from [Bradford College] I felt that this is the right place for me to stay and continue with my degree because it became like a home to me from the first day I went to Bradford College for enrolment. I felt at home, I felt a different atmosphere, I felt comfortable. Adeline Fogui Tchana BA (Hons) Social Work Alumnus

This course has really helped me. Bradford College and my tutors especially have really pushed me, and I’ve achieved distinctions in every assignment - it’s given me the confidence to study further. Faeeza Jamal Access to Higher Education – Allied Health Professions student

The really special thing about the course is that it's actually transformative. It's not just about learning some stuff and getting a certificate at the end of it. It transforms you as a human being because you have to look into yourself in order to be a counsellor in order to understand psychology. Frazer Ormandroyd BA (Hons) Counselling and Psychology in Community Settings
