I have also gained other qualifications whilst at Sixth Form such as a level 2 qualification in using a defibrillator and certification in First Aid. I am going to miss the teaching staff at The Royal Harbour Academy and the whole Sixth Form life however I feel fully equipped and am excited about my next challenge at university.”
