He’s a Good...Man!

Paul Goodman

Graphic Designer Paul Goodman has seen life from both sides of the lecture theatre at Doncaster College.

He began as a 16-year-old design student in September 2004 and this summer completed his PGCE teaching qualification.

As part of his teaching course Paul helped the National Diploma Graphic Design students to achieve the best ever success in the history of the course. 

David Bower, the course leader explained, "Our second year students were excellent this year. Sixteen learners gained high grades and nine of these gained three distinctions, the highest mark possible.  All 24 of the students passed and their performance was more than 10% better than the National Average.  Paul's contribution was really valuable in showing them what they could achieve."

After his own National Diploma in Art & Design, Paul completed a Degree in Graphic Design at University Centre Doncaster, and during this time he was ranked as one of the top ten young graphic designers by WorldskillsUK. He then went on to complete his teaching course. 

Paul said, "the opportunity to share the breadth of knowledge I gained from my lecturers at Doncaster made me want to help others learn as well."

He has his own website showcasing his work and will shortly begin a Masters Degree, but further down the line Paul intends to take up teaching on a full time basis.
