Advanced Practitioner Jeffrey Tribe said:
“This is the 5th year we have won this national glove competition. There may be more prizes to come as we have students shortlisted in various competitions. It is common for our students to beat older and more experienced students from universities to the top prizes.
We think that’s a pretty cool advert for our courses!”
