Employed
Since I’ve left BCE a lot has happened- I’ve just finished my BA degree in interior Architecture and Spatial Design and got a graduate design job in an Architectual/ Design firm. I also draw hyper-realistic portraits on the side.
A lot of skills I’ve learnt studying Fashion at BCE really helped me when I was in university. The work experience that was offered to me like London Fashion Week, Etta Bond video shoot, it was the beginning of my creative career.

Employed
I am a youth activist, film maker, social entrepreneur and run a company called Aviard Inspires. I studied Events and Music Management at BCE. I really benefited from studying at BCE. What I loved the most is it allowed me to be an individual and allowed us to be creative and to flourish, I feel like the teachers and mentors knew how to spot that greatness in people.

University
The Level 3 course I completed while at BCE has led me to studying my bachelor's degree at Greenwich University with ease.
BCE equipped me well, giving me advice on careers and further education. I was given all the skills and advice needed for a smooth transition. I was told by staff what to expect when going to university. Overall BCE has a very similar structure to my current university.
