“I enjoy how we’re taught on the course. It is education but it doesn’t feel like school.

“The course isn’t too formal and the team help you learn and adapt based on your interests and needs.

“I wanted to get into the trades for a very long time and learn key skills. This course seemed like it would be the best fit for me.”
