It was wonderful to be able to celebrate the work that our students do at colleges up and down the country through The BALI Chalk Fund Student of the Year Competition. This year, Ashley Zymanczyk from Merrist Wood College fought off some stiff competition to win the overall student of the year. He attended the BALI Awards 2018 with his lecturer Tony Begg, to collect his prize of £500 and an additional prize of £500 for his college. If you are a registered BALI training provider and have already spotted a potential strong student among your cohort, remember they can be entered for next year, look out for an invite to enter them.
