I also enjoy the trips; I was able to mix with people from other classes and make new friends. I like the wide range of careers Public Services can take you; it’s a very diverse course and all the lecturers have so much passion when they teach and are motivated to get the best out of everyone.”
“I really like that the teachers are easy going, but they’re very thorough. They have a good report with students. I like the HE lounge too as it gives adult learners a space to be in around other adults.”
“I chose New College Swindon because the course looked interesting. I can to an open event and liked the look of the facilities, it was modern and had all the right equipment. The plumbing class has electric threaders, which is cool! I wasn’t expecting to have boilers and cylinders to work on too.”
