”I enjoy seeing friends and being within the learning environment. The tutors are really supportive and give me loads of advice and help with theory and in the workshop.

I enjoy the practical lessons in the workshop the most. I currently work in a garage called the Tyre Company, the knowledge I have got from my work experience has helped build on my practical skill here at college.

I want to continue to work at the garage after college while I study on a Level 3 Motor Vehicle course, however, I am also considering an Apprenticeship with Jungheinrich.

I would recommend the course to others, I would advise others to revise the modules and keep on top of the vocabulary used as it helps you in getting a successful career in the area.

Friends have been really supportive. It has been the best academic year. We are treated like adults, and have respect from the tutors.

I chose to come to college over sixth form as I knew what I wanted to study. I was keen to enrol on to a vocational area to get the job I had in mind.”
