Matthew Latham, Graphic Design Level 3 Extended Diploma Southport College was much better than the other colleges I had visited; the facilities and resources were great with industry standard equipment. It’s like a specialist Art college! I have been doing bits of graphic design since I was young and always loved it. I studied it for GCSE so always knew I wanted to continue it at college. I have really enjoyed the freedom you get on this course. You can work at your own pace and tailor your projects to your own interests. The tutors are really friendly and are always there to help. They know so much about the industry and pass all that knowledge on! I am going to UCLan next year to study Graphic Design. At Southport College I’ve been taught everything I need to go out into the world of work. I don’t think I could have gained a better education than I have here!
Javier Guerra, Graphic Design Level 3 Extended Diploma I have studied at Southport College since 2013, initially on an ESOL course and eventually progressing to and completing a Level 3 Graphic Design course. The facilities are great and the staff are all very friendly and helpful and I have also benefited from a free travel pass and free meals throughout my time here. My dream has always been to be involved in motorsports and my hobby Sim Racing and next year I will be going to work with Williams F1 as the ESport team manager and ESport Graphic Designer.
