Welcome to New College Swindon

“If you’ve got the opportunity to go for an apprenticeship then definitely do it. I love that I get to travel with work and go to different venues and kitchens. I get to learn something new every day. This was the best decision I’ve ever made.”

“I like the lecturers; they are motivated to get the best out of you and push you to get the most out of the course. 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.”

“As someone who is dyslexic and had low self-confidence, I never thought I would get anywhere in life. Certainly, never university – let alone twice. The skills the learning support department gave me, and the encouragement allowed me to do things I never dreamed possible.”

“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.”
