What our students say

Justin Anderson – Engineering Systems NC (SCQF Level 6)
If you want to give yourself a chance to really sell yourself to employers, and happy to apply yourself, this is a good course for you.

I have gained units machining, lathe work, mechanical assembly and a variety of welding processes. As well as this I have gained academic units in Maths, CAD, health and safety etc which would allow me to progress.

Daniel Petrie – Modern Apprenticeship
I just knew that uni wasn’t for me and wanted to get into the Auto industry, I’ve always loved cars and always doing something on my own.

I like that this is a practical and hands-on course, and I am not stuck in a classroom, although we do have to do block release up at Moray Firth training in Inverness every 6 weeks. Its practical then you sit your exams at the end of the week. I get on really well with my classmates and really enjoy my time there.
