Aeronautical Engineering

Macsen Davies decided to study Aeronautical Engineering after attending a Â鶹´«Ã½ÍÅ¶Ó open event.

They’ve got well-equipped workshops for practical work and loads of industry standard equipment like CAD 3D design programmes and tools for building circuitry online. I’m currently being sponsored by Tata Steel and hope to be offered an apprenticeship after this course.”

Complimentary Therapies

Level 3 Complementary Therapies leaner, Sian Samantha Howells, plans to one day own her own business combining yoga and aromatherapy.

“I’d 100% recommend Â鶹´«Ã½ÍÅ¶Ó for the Complementary Therapies course. The course also helps you grow in confidence because you’re always meeting new people, and you get a huge amount of knowledge about the body – the course goes into so much depth! I look forward to going into college.”

Vehicle Maintenance & Repair

Courtney Williams has always been interested in cars, She wanted to study Vehicle Maintenance & Repair to turn her passion into a career.

“I was very nervous coming to college as a mature learner doing something I hadn’t done before, but it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. There are only a couple of girls in my class, but despite that, I feel like I fit in with the class – they’re all welcoming. I love learning the ins and outs of cars and learning about the auto industry. The facilities here are great and are like the industry standard you would find at most garages.”

Art & Design

Level 3 Art & Design learner, hopes the course will help him gain a creative career in the future.

I’d also recommend Art & Design because you get to do a great mix of things every day, so you can be very creative in lots of different ways. I felt like this pathway suited me better than sixth form as it is such a creative course.”
