Chelmsford taster day

Autumn 2012

The taster day gave a good overview of the nature of the job of an ODP and the chance to ask questions from a qualified professional. The interview tips were also much appreciated. The part I enjoyed most was the hands on tasks - like intubating the dummy and learning how to suture. I feel I have a much better idea of what the course entails having attended the taster day.

Fulbourn taster day

Autumn 2012

I attended the taster day for the ODP course and I would just like to thank you for a very informative, well presented day. I gained great insight and information into what is expected of a prospective student. I very much admired the facilities, and everyone was informative and polite.

Such was my experience that I believe that Anglia Ruskin would be most beneficial to me and will be applying for the course. It has made me more determined to finish and qualify from Access to HE in Science & Nursing Course, and hopefully fulfilling my dream of becoming an ODP.
