                                                              chance to pursue my dreams.

                                                              The  was a fabulous place to study – hard work but also

                                                              My qualification allowed me to combine my career with my
                                                              wanderlust and eventually led me to a tropical island working

                                                              Our work can be seen on Netflix – Izzy’s Koala World – and
                                                              you can see where a qualification from the  can take you!”
