Student Experiences

“

I feel like I came into Conti with probably quite specific ideas on what I thought I would end up being. And I feel like it’s very easy to put yourself in a box and sort of have expectations for yourself. Whereas I feel like Conti has definitely pushed me to do things that maybe I would have been scared to do.

I feel prepared to do all these things that scared me before.

- Lauren Pierce

“

You get to work with people who have different techniques and different ways of working. also people who are in the industry. You’re not only getting taught by industry professionals every day, but you’re getting an insight in the projects from someone who’s actually currently working in the industry.

- Louis Kershaw

“

There are smaller classes in order to allow the teacher to have that closer bond, relationship, one-on-one time with the students and really give them feedback, not generalised feedback, feedback that they need.
