“City College Norwich has prepared me in a way that feels like I am working in the industry in a real workplace which is very different from my old school environment. This has changed my outlook on possible work opportunities in future and has taught me how to communicate with people when those positions arise.”

Ben Mills – Event Management & Production

“City College Norwich gave me the opportunity to develop my practical and theoretical knowledge of lighting systems, as well as confidence in using industry kit from a young age. I never thought I would have the chance to work in London venues and light shows and festivals for artists. CCN has helped me achieve this.”

Nick Harvey – Events Management & Production, now a Freelance Lighting Programmer and Technician

“I didn't really concentrate while doing my GCSE's, and found myself looking for more inspiring lessons. That all changed at City College Norwich, with some great practical and theoretical lessons. The teaching made you want to listen and gave a good understanding for those wanting to pursue a career in the arts.”

Pete Blaxhill – Events Management & Production, currently a Sound Engineer for TV and film

““I got to perform and work on over seven different shows during my two year course. The College gave me an insight into how I should conduct myself in the professional world and what would be expected from me.””

Ashton, former dance student currently working with Sir Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures and studying a Contemporary Dance degree at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance

“"All of the shows that we do are phenomenal. The College has helped and improved me as a dancer"”

Charlotte Cooper, Dance Student, now studying at a professional dance college in London
