In the future I would love to work as a TV or film stylist. My course is great, very hands on and the tutors really motivate you. I was delighted to receive a Best in Further Education award from the college this year!Georgia PaterasHairdressing (Level 3 Diploma) -
I’ve always been interested in construction and architecture. My HND was the perfect stepping-stone to university. The knowledge I gained at NWRC helped me understand elements of my Degree course much more easily and I was able to complete my assignments to a higher standard.Eva McLaughlin
