Why students love our courses
Sometimes the best way to understand what it’s really like to apply and to study here is to hear directly from people who have done it.
One student, Dawid Kostka, started in the same position and applied for our Level 3 Music Performance course through a late application:
“I really enjoyed playing and writing music, so some of the options I looked into were music-related courses, such as the Music Performance course I’m on now at Access Creative College. I was wary of my late enrolment, but the staff at Access made the process smooth and easy through consistent support.
So far, the course has offered me the opportunity to develop my musicianship through real experience playing in a band at local venues. This also helped me improve my confidence, communication, teamwork, and time management skills. I have also learnt about the music industry and the different roles you can have as a musician.”
Dawid’s last bit of advice for future students: “If you are passionate about music, I would definitely recommend joining one of the music courses here at Access, because not only will you be doing something you enjoy, but you can also build a future career from it. It’s also a great opportunity to meet passionate young people with similar interests.”
A Level 3 Games Art student, Jesse Weetman, explains why he chose Access for his qualification: “It’s a very specialised college and I think it would be the best option as it is so specific, they know more about what they’re doing.”

Sophie Taylor, a Level 3 Music Performance student, shares why she chose Access Creative College: “I’ve been looking for a creative college because my high school wasn’t very creative. […] So, we were looking and found Access, and we went to a few open days, and it just looked absolutely perfect.”

Finally, we asked Lyla Little, who studies our Level 3 Film, Photography and Videography course, ‘What advice would you give to someone who hasn’t applied yet?’ She said, “Definitely apply, I think it’s worth it. And, if you think you won’t enjoy it, you probably will – just go for it. Because what have you got to lose?”
