Level 3 Extended Diploma in Computing
Previous Institution: Church Stretton School
I came to Shrewsbury Colleges Group because I had friends who spoke very highly of their experiences here. I enjoy the games development and web production and it’s great to turn your own ideas into a reality.

Previous school: Meole Brace School
You learn useful IT skills and good communication skills in this subject. The whole class is very supportive and has helped me maintain deadlines and kept me organised. I really enjoyed doing animation, it was adaptable to real world marketing.

Previous Institution: Oldbury Wells School
I have always had an interest in IT development and since studying at SCG that has only grown. I have been inspired when learning about digital graphics and that has decided my future career path. You’ll never get bored with the huge variety of areas that you cover, like business, security and game development.
