Volunteering in Adult Social Care

Being a student at RHACC was an unforgettable experience. The Access to Higher Education Level 3 Diploma in Creative and Digital Media one-year course was highly intensive and, at the same time, very exciting! The course covered a wide range of subject areas, providing me with a broad understanding and an extensive skill set which has prepared me to continue my studies in higher education with confidence.

The quality of teaching and the curriculum were outstanding. The support and feedback I received from my tutors during my studies here helped me feel comfortable and allowed me to reach my full potential. I had a very enjoyable time learning at RHACC. The college has a very nice and relaxed atmosphere, is inclusive and the members of staff are all very friendly and helpful. I received offers from all of the universities I applied to and I am very thankful to everyone. I would love to study here again!

"Studying AAT Level 4 at RHACC was an excellent decision. The course equipped me with strong accounting skills, real-world knowledge, and confidence in my abilities. The supportive teachers and collaborative learning environment made the experience both rewarding and enjoyable.

Completing AAT Level 4 has opened doors for my future. My goal is to move into a professional accounting role, and thanks to RHACC, I feel prepared and confident to take that next step."

"I am pleased to share that I have successfully completed the AAT Level 4 Professional Diploma in Accounting at RHACC. The knowledge and practical skills I gained during my studies have provided me with a strong foundation in accounting and finance.
I am now actively seeking opportunities to begin my career in the accounting field, where I can apply my skills and continue to develop professionally.
As the next step in my professional journey, I am planning to pursue the ACCA qualification to further enhance my expertise and progress toward becoming a fully qualified accountant.
I would like to thank the college and tutors for their support and guidance throughout my studies. I look forward to the next stage of my career and continuing my professional development."

"I joined RHACC in 2024 to continue my education in accounting. Alongside the professionalism and support of the entire team, I also met wonderful people there who were full of warmth and understanding. Because of this, I not only gained the qualifications I had aspired to obtain, but also strengthened my self-confidence and built meaningful relationships with truly great people."

“I started at RHACC when I retired, initially to explore art history, and I never imagined where it would lead. After trying practical art for the first time since school, I was completely hooked. Over the years I’ve gained confidence, learned new techniques, and been encouraged to experiment and push myself creatively. The support from tutors has been incredible, and it’s given me the confidence to take the next step and enrol on a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design.”

“This class completely changed how I paint. Learning how to simplify shapes and explore different techniques helped me find a style I genuinely love. Jo’s teaching gave me so much confidence, and I can’t wait to keep painting.”

“I first came to RHACC to improve my English, starting with ESOL and then Functional English, which was incredibly useful for me. It helped me build confidence and develop the professional vocabulary I need for my work. From there, I joined photography and graphic design courses, which allowed me to combine language learning with my background in art, content creation, and photography.

RHACC gave me the opportunity to collaborate on real projects, including volunteering, designing materials, and photographing the Winter Art & Crafts Fair. This experience helped me feel more prepared for a professional working environment and strengthened my connection with the college. I really value the supportive community here, and I’m proud to continue building my relationship with RHACC as I develop my skills and career.”

“After retiring from a very results-driven career, it was refreshing to do something purely creative for pleasure. I hadn’t done anything artistic since before my GCSEs, so this course felt like a real step outside my comfort zone – in the best possible way.

I loved mixing with learners of different ages and making new friends, and the atmosphere was completely non-judgemental. Debra’s support was amazing, with brilliant advice on technique and design, and I really enjoyed learning the theory alongside the practical work. I enjoyed it so much that I’ll definitely be signing up for another RHACC course.”

''I came to RHACC looking for somewhere to learn English effectively. This gave me the opportunity to explore different areas for my professional development and at the same time meet multicultural people. The course helped me to improve my English and feel more confident when communicating. I will continue studying at RHACC to continue my professional growth, and take a new direction in my career'.'
