Student Testimonial
When I left school, I was unsure what to do next. I already played rugby for my local team and loved playing the sport. I didn't get all my GCSEs I needed, but TCOR helped me to restudy and retake the exams. I passed and I feel I understood my Mathematics better when I restudied it. When I got my uniform, I felt pride wearing it and whilst I had a long travel to get to the TCOR daily I did so because I enjoyed my time there so much. The BTEC I achieved and my re-sit GCSE exam helped me to get the job I wanted as a Firefighter. When I completed my course and left TCOR I was still able to ask them for a reference. They also helped me to get my physical certificates that I hadn't received to enable me to start my new job. Without these I would have failed my application process. Thank you to everyone at TCOR.
