CLIVE WELBURN
FdSc Digital Design
“I’ve had brain tumours from the age of nine and have needed seven operations. While I was recovering from complications from the last one, I thought I needed a hobby so tried photography. It’s something I’ve been doing for many years so wanted to become better at it and maybe turn it into a business. I like digital design, so my plan is to set up a business doing design and video work which also includes wedding photography. The facilities are really good at Scarborough TEC, and now I’m doing a degree course it’s more flexible which means I can also drop my two children off at school. It was a bit strange when I was on the Level 2 course and was one of the oldest in the class – last year I was the same age as my tutor! But it’s not held me back; the support has been really good, and I’ve enjoyed my time here.”
