“I loved this course. The teachers were amazing, really kind and helpful. The range of workshops and classes provided throughout the year really helped to broaden my understanding of Social Care. I knew in my mind that this was the right course and career choice for me. I had a great experience at Liberties, where the teachers were focused on giving us the best experience possible.”
