I chose Falmouth Marine School because of my love for watersports. It appealed to me above everywhere else and I hoped it would take me to where I wanted to be, and it did!
The qualifications and experience I gained at Falmouth Marine School got me employment in the industry.
Duchy is one of the only colleges that offers the Sport Outdoor Adventure Diploma with water activities as well as inland ones, most college only offer one of the other, a day here could include anything from kayaking to climbing. When I leave I pan on going to work in an activity centre to get some leadership under my belt and then come back to get more qualifications and eventually become a lecturer.
