I wanted better job opportunities and the Access course gave me the pathway towards the career I’ve always dreamed of. It was quite daunting returning to college but I found all the staff at Strabane campus really helpful and friendly. They made the experience so enjoyable.Elaine Mythen (Health & Welfare) -
I plan to further my studies at university and move to Australia to become a Mechanical Design Engineer. I would 100% recommend my course. It has taught me what I need to know to succeed.Matthew England (Engineering)
