“I had been a jobseeker for a year and found it very difficult to find full time employment. I finally decided that it was time for a change. I went to my Local Employment Services office with the hope to research some courses when I met some very helpful people who told me about MOMENTUM. I looked into the opportunity, researched DBS and never looked back! I am involved in something important, I am doing a course that I like and it has changed my life. I enjoy all aspects of Sales and Marketing and the Personal Development module is very helpful. All the lecturers are very supportive both in class and on an individual basis, often putting time aside to meet students one to one. I’ve been very impressed with how the college supports students with such professionalism and patience; from lecturers, librarians and IT support to the dedicated student support services".
