- Where are they now?
-
Working in carpentry for many years, I went back to education in order to follow a dream of studying and training in art and design.
Completing the Level 5 Creative Craft course in Bray has proven to be one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
After this I went on to complete the Level 6 in art, followed by acceptance into NCAD, where I am currently studying the Joint Honours Degree in Fine Art and Art Education, also one of only 60 students on the island of Ireland to be awarded the University scholarship fund last year.
The Level 5 Creative Craft course is incredible training in a wide variety of art and design modules, with highly skilled, talented and knowledgeable tutors. It gave me all the tools and skills I needed to move forwards to where I am now, and showed me skills that I didn't even realise I had. I will always be so grateful to the tutors, Ray, Joanna, Elaine and Charlie, and so many others at the college for their professional and personal support which helped me achieve my dreams, and I give the highest possible recommendation. - James Kennedy
