Launchpad for success

Hussain made it to Cambridge University to study Aerospace Engineering after studyingA LevelsatCrosskeys Campus. He chose Coleg Gwent for our great reputation for A Levels, andachievedthree A* grades inMaths, Physics and Chemistry. Find out how Coleg Gwent wasa launchpad forHussain’ssuccess:

“I’d been out of education for a number of years before I started college. So,I was worried about whether I’d fit in andbe able to keep up with the intensity of A-levels,comparedto someone who has just completed their GCSEs.But thetutorialsystem helped me fit right in and keep on top of my work.

The collegealsogave me free access to all the course notesandadditional resources online.This was pivotal for me, as most of my learning and revision was done outside of class time.The environment wascalmand laidbacktoo, but it was focused when it needed to be, which I personally liked a lot and was able to thrive.

Going to Coleg Gwent was one of the best decisions of my life!The support and respect from the teachersisunparalleled;the facilities are amazing;and the people you meet are extraordinary. Most people are not aware, but there are many other courses aside from A-levels and BTECsavailable at the college, includinghigher-levelprogrammeslike HNDs and HNCs. So,it’s notjusta place for the academically elite, but forpeopleof all different abilities.

My goal is to one day enter the aerospace engineering industryto work inspace flight and orbital mechanics, and to hopefully contributetomajor research there.The college has helped by providing me with the education and qualifications I require to pursue this careerandI’ve developed loads of skillsalongside my A Levelstoo, such as time management, teamwork, andinteraction skills.”
