Chantel NG Former ESOL: Higher (Advanced) Student. Currently studying HND Photography. I thoroughly enjoyed studying the Higher ESOL course at the college as there was an excellent mix of students from all over the world on the course and the lecturers were very experienced and helpful. Throughout the course I was able to improve my writing skills, increase my knowledge of British culture and learn about various current political and economic issues happening around the world. As a result of completing the Higher ESOL course it gave me the confidence to pursue my passion in photography and I am now studying a full time course in HND Photography at the college.
