A student has been praised in the House of Lords.
Carshalton College IT student, Thierno Diallo, was awarded the Best Learner Award at the House of Lords on 23 May 2013.
The South London Colleges' Best Learner Awards ceremony celebrated the achievements of students across South London and was hosted by Lord Tope.
During the first year of his BTEC Level three Extended Diploma in IT Thierno gained nine distinctions.
He said: "I have really enjoyed studying at Carshalton College. You get a lot of freedom for self-study and using computer facilities which has really made the difference, as the more effort I put in, the more experience I gain.
The friendly staff have helped and supported me to achieve the qualifications that I needed to progress in to University."
