The Island's College has seen a 100% pass rate for its students studying in the Annie Gill 'Real Working Environment.'

All of this year's students have passed their Food Safety for Catering Award, which involves running a public café on campus.

Alison Higson, Progamme Manager for Foundation Learning, says they work with students to build confidence and resilience, which are important for their development and future success.
