Don’t just take our word for it – we have plenty of students that have gone on to enjoy successful careers after studying with us. Our Sport graduate Michael Blythe is now a successful self-employed Sport and Exercise Consultant.
Michael said: “The most beneficial things about gaining my qualifications at Dearne Valley College are that I’ve been able to work in an industry I love for over twenty years and travel around the country and Europe helping a variety of people.
“That was one of the main reasons I chose to study at Dearne Valley College; the dedicated sport facilities, friendly and relaxed environment and the great reputation.”
