I looked into coming to college and discovered Electrical Engineering is what I wanted to do. It seemed like a good opportunity for me, so I came to see if this was something I was interested in and that I wanted to make a career out of.
I’ve really enjoyed the practical sessions on this course; and the facilities are great as they have everything you need here to prepare you for future employment. As a part of my course I have used drones and also miniature robots. I have found the teachers have been really supportive throughout the course and after finishing this course I am hoping to gain a Higher Apprenticeship or go on to University to study Electrical Engineering.
Career prospects & further study
Successful completion of this course will enable students to return for the EAL Diploma or Extended Diploma in Advanced Engineering Technologies, as well as prepare them for entry into a Technical/Engineering Apprenticeship.
