What Our Students Say

“Because I’ve got autism and I’d sometimes have trouble understanding things – because I need stuff breaking down into detail and explaining to me in a perfect way, in a much more understanding way, I have tutors that understand me a bit more.”

Max

“I’m working really well with my tutors – they’re really supportive and we just have a laugh. It’s like a really nice atmosphere. I think the facilities are really fantastic.”

TRANSCRIPT

INTERVIEWEE – HARRY – BTEC Level 3 Engineering Student (SPEAKING)

Scenery – A student welding

Harry – “It’s a real passion for me being able to actually build circuits and understand how they work, testing and measuring and stuff, I found I learnt a lot more from that than I did studying GCSE Physics, studying electronics in that for two years where I never actually touched or saw a circuit.”

Scenery – A student lifts his welding helmet, takes a look at his work and discusses it with a tutor.

Scenery – A tutor is showing a student how to use a metalworking vice

Harry – “If anyone is interested in something related to engineering there’s something here, there’s a course here.”
Scenery – A student is using a metalworking lathe under the supervision of a tutor

Harry – “ If you are very academic there is the BTEC course equally if you’re, if you struggle with academic learning but you want to go down that path it’s still a course that you can do it’s not so difficult that you’re just gonna y’know fall over at the first day…”

Scenery – Tutors guiding students on using various pieces of engineering equipment

Harry – “and then if you’re not academic and you just want to be doing with your hands you’ve got all of the courses in the workshop here there’s the automotive and mechanical engineering courses that are great for getting onto apprenticeships and straight into work.”

Scenery – A student rolls underneath a car to work on the chassis

Scenery – A student is using an impact wrench to remove wheel bolts and a wheel

Scenery – A student is using a spray gun to spray a car panel in a paint booth

Harry – “There’s a really nice range of lots of different courses and lots of different professions within engineering.”
