At JMC, I learnt that if you want to achieve your goals, you’ve got to listen and learn from others but at the same time form your own outlook and believe in yourself and the work you are capable of.

I’ve been enjoying my experience at JMC Academy. We have small class sizes, which means the lecturers can pay more attention to each student, so it is easier to ask for help when you need it. My teachers have been really helpful and I think I’ve been given more support than I would get in a large university. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to get deeper knowledge in media.
