I will be 31 when course starts, its just a basic college course but in a area that is hard to get into so has a huge amount of applicants (I got into unversity before easier than a basic course at this college!)
Its complicated but let me tell you my background, a course at college aged 16-19 in same subject but it was far different than now i.e wasn't digital so darkrooms and video tapes to manually edit and though I loved it, it was time consuming and easy to make errors.
I then spent a few years in and out of work till a family death made me out of work for a few years due to depression at which point I tried university for a year but wasn't ready as was still affected by depression and so left and 2 years after that tried college but had funding problems and the medication meant I found it almost impossible to get up at 6.30am every morning to get to class (it was 40 miles away but I needed public transport)
Now I live 14 miles from college bus takes 25 minutes and is twice a hour, in a far better position in life and recovering and ready to make my life better.
So I guess I could mention that but in a more positive spin but I failed interview for same course last year(its Media) because I came across as not interested as I said I didn't have a blog or youtube channel (when in fact that was part of the reason I wanted to do course to learn how) Also I have autism and dyslexia and a few other disabilties so I start of learning slow then speed up so when they did a on the spot written test at interview I screwed up as my brain was a blank so they thought I wasnt smart enough (this year I can prepare)
The other part I failed was that they said to me its a hard industry to get into too and my age meant university was pointless in the subject and I tried to make that sound positive by saying that I would see what happens on the course and if I excel at it I will go to university if I am good at it I may just continue on and transfer skills to relevant life skills.
Trying to word that in a way that makes it seem I am positive and so they can't just tell me to do a basic access course in something like English instead.
