ALUMNI CASE STUDY

Name: Lewis Gardner Course: Level 3 Creative Media

“I had always enjoyed editing videos for friends when I was at school so when I found out about the creative media course, I knew it was the right one for me. I was so pleased to get the work placement with Fosse 107 Radio, I have really enjoyed the experiences it has opened up for me. The best event I covered for the radio was the Bedworth Civic Hall Darts Masters where I got to meet and interview some great sports personalities”.
