What led you to choose this course?
At first, I wasn’t very interested in other courses, but over the past year, I’ve grown a genuine passion for fitness. It started as a hobby, and I found it fascinating to see how people’s physiques can transform in different ways. I’ve also learnt how being active and fit can greatly benefit mental health and overall happiness.
Why did you decide to study at ESC?
I live nearby, and after visiting the college for a day to try out on a taster day, I was really impressed by how big the College is. I also attended an open event where the guided tours were great, which made me even more certain that I wanted to study here.
What do you enjoy most about your course?
I found learning about the anatomy and physiology of the body interesting, which inspired me to look into it further and see where it could lead me as a possible career on a larger scale.
How are you finding the teaching/support?
My tutor is great at helping me understand things. He takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes sense, and he’s very patient if I need more help or have questions. His support has made a big difference for me.
Have you had any work experience during this course?
For work experience, I worked as a lifeguard at a local school, which also gave me the chance to have a deeper look into the role of a personal trainer as I had the opportunity to shadow professionals in the facilities.
What are your future plans?
I’ve decided that going to university might not be the right choice for me because it can be really costly. Instead, I’m considering an apprenticeship to become a personal trainer, which is something I’ve always wanted to do. My goal is to help people improve their well-being, both in terms of their physical health and their confidence, through fitness.
Would you recommend JRC to a future student? If so, why?
I would definitely recommend ESC to anyone looking for a great learning experience. I’m really enjoying my classes, and my tutor is fantastic. He has a wonderful teaching style, and having someone supportive makes a huge difference for me. It helps me work towards my future goals.
