South Hampshire College Group is celebrating Level 3 results day with an unprecedented number of students passing their T Level or other Level 3 qualification, and are set to progress to their chosen career or university.
T Levels are one of the fastest-growing education pathways, designed in collaboration with employers and with a greater emphasis on industry placements. With an increasing number of options for T Level courses, South Hampshire College Group has become one of the largest providers of T Levels in Hampshire and has invested in state-of-the-art Centres of Excellence which utilise industry-standard equipment and facilities to enable students to achieve the skills they need to be successful in their future careers.
Today’s results have seen notable T Level successes in Digital, Professional Construction and Finance specialities, with 100% pass rates, all of which have benefitted from Centre of Excellence investment in the past year.
Pete Joddrell, Deputy Chief Executive and Group Principal of South Hampshire College Group, said: “These results reflect our amazing progress as a College Group over the past 12 months, as demonstrated through our growth in T Levels and the positive destinations to skilled employment, apprenticeships and higher education. It’s fantastic to see so many success stories across our Level 3 provision especially within individual subject specialities, such as in Digital, Construction and Marine, and to see how our cutting-edge Centres of Excellence are helping drive student successes across these industries. We’re excited to be launching further Centres of Excellence in the next year, reflecting our steadfast commitment to providing the best possible learning environments for our students.”
Dimo Rosenov has today collected his Distinction certificate for his Level 3 T Level qualification in Digital Design, Production and Development, and will now be progressing onto a Software Engineering degree at University of Portsmouth. Dimo said: “I was very excited to get my results, I worked really hard and it paid off. This course has really helped me grow my skills and confidence and I can’t wait to learn more. T Levels are a great way to learn and I feel it has really prepared me for what is next”.
Debbie Eacott, Digital Academy Lead at South Hampshire College Group, commented: “We are so proud of our Digital T Level students and to see them collectively achieve a 100% pass rate is a testament to their hard work and dedication, as well as the quality of the immersive learning environments here at South Hampshire College Group.”
In addition to T Levels, many students have been enjoying strong success across wider Level 3 qualifications.
Caitlin Marks has achieved a Distinction grade in her Level 3 UAL Extended Diploma in Production Arts, and is now progressing onto a professional acting school where she will study a degree in Technical Theatre Arts.
Caitlin said: “I love how this course has allowed me to develop my love of theatre. We have three brilliant teachers on this course who use their skills learned from the industry to teach us each and every aspect for theatre. I’ll be able to use this knowledge in my next steps and can hopefully teach others things that I know as well.”
Sophie Waite has just completed a Level 3 Uniformed Public Services Extended Diploma, where she received a Distinction grade. She has secured a role as a Teaching Assistant at a local school, with the ambition of using this to progress into the fire service.
Sophie commented: “During my work experience with the fire service on this course, we did a day teaching fire safety at a local school, which linked into what I am now going to do in becoming a Teaching Assistant. I’m really looking forward to this role as it will help me prepare for working with more members of the community and I think it’s really going to benefit me, especially if I then go into the fire service.”
