Entrepreneur Levi Roots dropped in to Lambeth College to lend his support to a new qualification for teenagers.

The Brixton resident helped promote the new range of diplomas - a qualification designed for 14 to 19-year-olds which provides an alternative to traditional subjects.

The two year courses - which depending on the level are equivalent to GCSEs or A-levels - include IT, business, admin and finance, and society and health.

More than 250 students at the college who are due to start the diploma in September attended Levi’s talk.
