I recently moved from Switzerland to England to
live with my dad. Lewisham College was my local College so I
applied. It was recommended that I studied Youth Entry
to Further Education (YEFE) which would make it possible for
me to go onto a more mainstream course.
I'm now studying Business BTEC Level 2, and hope to go on to
study Access to Business in the future.
My new course is demanding, but it's fun. I like numbers and
statistics, and I'd like to go on to study Business at university
in the future and later go into banking.
I'm also a course representative and a member of the College's
Welcome Team. It's great, you can get involved in a lot of
activities.
I'd definitely recommend that people come and study at Lewisham
College - it's lots of fun to be here; you'll have a good time.

I
joined the YEFE course because I'd just arrived from Nigeria, and
wanted to be able to study a Business course in the future.
YEFE was really good, we learned about maths, English, Business
and Finance. I adjusted quite well to being at College in England
and I enjoyed the course a lot.
Lewisham College is a good environment to learn in, and you've
got all the equipment you need to help you with your studies.
As well as studying YEFE, I was a Study Buddy - meaning I was
paid by the College to help other students with their work. I've
also become a member of the College's Welcome Team - so I'm an
ambassador for the College and I help out at events. I feel like
I'm a member of staff!
YEFE's a good course, I'd definitely recommend it - it gives you
the experience you need to apply to other courses.
I'm now studying Business BTEC Level 2 - which YEFE really
prepared me for. In the future, I want to go and study Business at
university and then go into banking.
