What made you pick this particular course/ North Devon College?
I have always been interested in animals and medical related topics and doing animal care here allows me to experience a mix of those topics.

What did/do you most enjoy about studying at North Devon College e.g. trips, visits, project?
The practical sessions where we learn and practice medical care like CPR, bandaging, blood samples, use of medical tools and more.

Did you undertake any work experience throughout your studies? How did you find your experience? And do you think this work experience helped you decide your next steps?
I have been doing work experience at Medivet Northam which I found by looking local to my home and simply handed my CV in. This work experience has helped me make back up plans for after college if I don’t go to university.

What do you plan to do when you leave North Devon College (further study, career etc.)?
I hope to go to university and study a degree in a veterinarian course, and if that doesn’t go to plan I will do an apprenticeship at my work experience.

Any advice for someone thinking of choosing the same course as you?
I would say there is so much you can do going forward with this course.
