To expand our business and get more involved with those training and coming into the industry to try and give back a little of the help I received to get where I am today.
How did your studies help you get to where you are now?
The course helped my gain understanding and skills in the areas I was interested in and help my become more confident.
Lastly, what was the best thing about studying with us?
The best thing about studying at UHI Moray was the support and guidance from the lecturer team. I wouldn’t be where I am now without those who guided and taught me and delivered a great course.
