What made you pick this particular course/Petroc?
I wanted to work for the NHS and an apprenticeship became available within this course.

What did/do you most enjoy about studying at Petroc e.g. trips, visits, projects.
I like that it breaks up the working week, and has given me the opportunity to meet other people working within the same organisation.

Did you undertake any work experience throughout your studies?
I currently work for the RDUH NHS foundation trust at North Devon District Hospital. I intend to stay as an administrator after the course.

What do you plan to do when you leave Petroc?
I hope to do more courses funded through the organisation I work for, so I can increase my skills and qualifications.

Any advice for someone thinking of choosing the same course as you?
You get paid whilst you’re learning so it’s definitely worth it. It will also significantly increase your chances of employment.
