What do our students say?
"While during a period of unemployment I was recommended Petroc and additional learning to help boost my employment prospects and give me something to focus on. I was dubious to start with about going back to structured studying but I have to say the team at Petroc were amazing and very supportive on my journey.
My initial course through Petroc was Mental Health Awareness but following completing my Diploma in Health I very much enjoyed end of life care and the opportunity to work within that environment during my diploma. Doing the course helped support me in the role, support my colleagues and get a better understanding of the principles of end of life from the patient and family perspective. I felt better equipped to deal with end of life situations and it has helped me develop better opportunities for my career in my existing role.
The highlights for me we're working with a very supportive team, sharing my learning with my wider team, putting into practise my learning in a health care environment and the humbling tutor feedback on how interesting my work was. All this together gave me great encouragement and has made me very proud of my achievements."
PAUL, PRINCIPLES OF END OF LIFE CARE
"I chose to come to Petroc as they had a wide range of courses that really interested me, in the career I would like to do.
I picked Awareness of Mental Health Level 2 as it seemed like a great course to do as mental health is such a big thing in the world, also one of the future jobs I have looked into is working with people with mental health. I also picked Children’s Mental Health as I would love to work with children - I’ve wanted this since I was 16 and now 10 years later I have the chance to get some qualifications behind me to move on.
I have enjoyed being able to be home with my children and helping them grow as well as showing them that even mummy can learn new things. I can spend time with my children and still be able to get the qualifications that I would like.
Even though I’m studying at home I still have full support from the tutors, they are always only an email away or I can call for support."
REBECCA, UNDERSTANDING CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE'S MENTAL HEALTH
"Petroc was recommended to me by my colleague, due to the quality of the teaching and the range of courses offered. I decided to under take the course for my Continuous Professional Development for my job, as well as for personal interest.
I enjoyed the whole process; from the start of the course, to the tutor engagement, to the assignments, to the end of the course.
I found the staff at Petroc very helpful and accommodating, and the tutors very knowledgeable, particularly when giving feedback and when marking the assignments.
I would thoroughly encourage anyone interested in studying, to sign up for any course offered by Petroc."
