Maria Mapstone quote
Clearing was actually really easy. I put it off for a bit too long as I was so nervous it was going to be hard. But I barely remember doing it as it was so straight-forward and I was supported the entire time.”

Why Clearing worked for me
Tamika Sampson quote
I was going to take a gap year to work on my skills, but after receiving my college results I wanted to apply immediately. I called the Ravensbourne hotline and booked a meeting. We discussed my career plans and portfolio, and I was offered a place on my dream course the following day. ”
