What our students had to say

"I registered with One Spare Chair to do the fast track NVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care because I’d heard about them from one of my colleagues. Because of their flexible approach, I was able to complete the whole 6 units within 14 weeks. Now I have a permanent job as a Care Support Worker, instead of relying on the agency.”

Joanna Banjoko ( NVQ Level 2 Health & Social Care )

"I wanted to start my own event promotion business for some time. I have been on business courses before, but the OSCT ‘Bonafide’ was very different to anything else. The fact that OSCT is in the Creative Industries really helped me to understand the skills, qualities and experience needed. I am really looking forward to completing the next stage of the course."
