It's T Levels Week, and we're showcasing our incredible T Level learners at Accrington and Rossendale College!

Meet Mustafa, a T Level Cyber Security student and former pupil at Accrington Academy who is working hard to build a successful future in the field. As part of his T Level, Mustafa had the incredible opportunity to travel to France on the Turing Scheme, where he gained valuable work experience at the international company, PlanetAzur!

Mustafa: "My interest in cyber security began in my younger years, when I developed a passion for refurbishing tech. This T Level has allowed me to build my skills and gain real-world experience, giving me confidence in my future career. I have also completed a wide range of work placements, both in the UK and abroad. Studying a T Level has given me the best of both worlds: hands-on practical training and rigorous classroom learning."
