CCOAS students celebrate at Westminster graduation


We were proud to see 15 of our students among the graduates at the Central Qualifications Graduation and Awards Ceremony at Central Hall, Westminster, on Saturday, 9 March.

Dressed in their ceremonial gowns, the graduates received their scrolls from adventurer, broadcaster and writer Ben Fogle while friends and family proudly watched on.

Ben Fogle also gave the keynote speech, in which he spoke about growing up in a veterinary household near the venue in central London, finding fame spending a year marooned on an island as part of the Castaway 2000 television series, rowing across the Atlantic with James Cracknell, and climbing Mount Everest.

He ended his speech by urging the graduates not to forget their dreams and ambitions and to climb their own Everests, whatever that might be.

After so much hard work and dedication, it was wonderful to see the students get the chance to celebrate their achievements. We wish them all the best as they begin their careers.
