    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.

    The College has helped me become a better musician. I started at NWRC, now I'm supporting Robbie Williams at Hyde Park!
