I had never heard of SCA until I visited an open day at the start of the summer for a competing school. They were going over all the usual things what the school had to offer, the tutors from the advertising department started discussing the course and after a couple of minutes I knew this wasn’t going to be the one for me. Something I thankfully did take away from that day, in amongst my illegible notes and doodles I’d scrawled ‘SCA Brixton, good place to go?’ which was mentioned by the head of the advertising department of all people. 

A day or so had passed and I was on the SCA website applying, a couple of days after that I was having the phone call/interview with Marc and this is when I realised SCA wasn’t going to be a conventional place to study. After the phone call I was intrigued, with a story about a guy making an omelette for his presentation? I was invited to the next stage and I couldn’t wait to do the face to face interview and find out more. The rest is history and now I need to tick off my first SCAB? from my to do list.

I thought I’d have a look and read what other people had been saying so I did a quick Google ‘SCAB Blog’ thinking it would lead me straight to the source but instead topping the Google search was a blog titled ‘Eat My Scabs’. I needed a glass of source after a quick look (I had to). After that random tangent – Learning a few months back that I had secured a place with SCA and on the course came in equal measures of pure shock, delight and future thinking “how was I going to juggle things”‘.
