Since being at the College I have performed in two musicals which were organised by the Careers and Ideas team. I have been fortunate enough to have had lead roles in both Disco Inferno and We Will Rock You. I surprised myself with what I was able to achieve. I had so much support from doing my Level 3 qualifications and that’s what made me want to stay at Cardiff and Vale College. The facilities are amazing, and if you have any issues the tutors are brilliant.
