I am a mature student (51) that completed the Access course over 1 year last year, I am now in my first year of study at Birmingham City Uni on the SLT course, so I know how you are all feeling about the interviews etc.
Whilst I had a little experience of working with an SLT in my previous job it was very limited, but from what Ican see of the course so far (very limited but very
intence) the advise that Giella gave is very true, they want to see the potential you have to become a good SLT, not the polished final version hopefully we will
become that over the next few years. everybody has some qualities to offer towards a role of this nature and by showing them qualities is a good stepping stone
togetting on the course (I never thought I would be where I am now as i have never had a good interview before in my life, but dreams do happen). Remember
the course is about COMMUNICATION and as long as you can communicate with confidance then hopefully you will be successful.
Good luck to you all and hopefully I will see some of you next year ( bit biased but BCU is fantastic, the tutors are great and the course seems intense but well
paced at the moment. But all students would say that)
