Hayley Naylor
Grade Achieved: 6 (GCSE Biology)
"Tutors really understand your passion when you come to learn, even if it's just a hobby like it is for me, I just came to college because I really enjoy Science and it was really interesting to me. Being able to come back to college and confidently speak up about something you don't understand is amazing. I was never able to do this when I was younger. Text books were free and readily available too!
My advice to upcoming students is to just go for it, the main thing is you'll always be learning something new everyday. The exam is just a stepping stone. Remember, always ask questions!"

"Education has changed a lot since I was in school. Today, conditions like dyslexia are taken more seriously. Blackburn College gave me the support through the right tests to find out about my Dyslexia. Also, the support I received like extra time in exams was a huge help."
Aysha Harrington
Grade Achieved: 5 (GCSE English)
"My tutor Michelle, was really supportive through all the difficult stages of the course. With my GCSEs I have been able to change my life for the better and wanted to achieve something for myself and my children.
Initially, I studied a Teaching Assistant Programme here at College. Now with my GCSEs I can progress to my leadership course in community work."
