Hear what current and past student say about our Business and Finance courses!
"I first started Petroc back in 2015 doing Carpentry, after a couple of months I realised that carpentry was not the course for me. After realising this, Petroc went above and beyond to find me a course that they felt would be a perfect fit. That’s when I made the transfer onto the Business Level 2 course. After I completed the year, I then progressed on to the level 3 Extended Diploma in Business Studies. After my two years on the Level 3 business course I then went on to the Foundation Degree in Business which Petroc offers.
"In my time at Petroc I have had many opportunities given to me such as taking part in NCS and field trips including visiting London and attending UCAS events. I also went to Amsterdam with Petroc, this was a great trip and was filled with amazing activities!
Through Petroc I was able to work in Barcelona For two weeks through their Erasmus work placement, all accommodation and travel was paid for. We worked in Monlau college, doing a variety of administrative jobs and visiting school fetes. Petroc organised plenty of tourist attractions for us to visit, including going up La Sagrada Familia. We also had lots of free time allowing us to explore Barcelona fully."
