Positive atmosphere
Talking about being part of RuTC, Caitlyn reflects: “The atmosphere in and around the college is always positive, which cheers me up if I’m ever having a bad day. The staff check in on me as well which feels good, so it doesn’t feel like I’m invisible.”
Caitlyn’s choice to study Sport and Personal Training with us stems from the opportunities that will be possible for her in the future. Her dream job is to run her own personal training business, where she can work 1-1 with clients and help make a real difference to their lives.
Caitlyn’s final piece of advice to prospective RuTC students is, “You will not regret studying at Richmond upon Thames College, and you’ll find yourself in an amazing atmosphere, with incredible staff and a fantastic community of students!”
