AUTOMOTIVE SKILLS

I enjoy the practical hands-on experience of working with cars and I have been given the opportunity to see what being a mechanic is like. I am keen to be an Apprentice Mechanic when I leave school and will come back to Edinburgh College. This course has helped me with communication skills and I have made new friends.

Stephen Chalmers, Craigroyston High School

DIGITAL MEDIA SKILLS

I have gained a good insight into how the media world works and made use of the facilities that are not available at school. This course is a good introduction into further study and I will be applying for HND Film & Media at Edinburgh College next year. It has shown me what life in Higher Education is like.
