The teaching, facilities and resources are excellent! It’s all brand-new and of the highest quality.

We’ve been building up our skills, learning: pipe-bending, soldering, working with steel pipe-work. We’ve also looked at solvent welds and waste management.

All-in-all I’ve learnt a lot in quite a short space of time. This course was a career change for me and the possibility of a better life for me and my family is my prime motivation!

I completed the Level 2 Site Carpentry course and have progressed to the Level 3 programme.

I’m employed at Sporn Construction in Bicester who handle a lot of restoration work. They felt that offering me the opportunity to be qualified in traditional techniques such as: cut roofs and staircases, as well as complex roof structures would mean I was recognised for my work as an asset to the company.

The College has really helped me develop; the knowledgeable staff give me confidence that I’m learning the correct skills and are 'firm but fair'!

I’ve already completed my Level 2 Site Carpentry and have now progressed onto the Level 3 programme.

I work for Benfield & Locksley Construction in Oxford. They’ve been very supportive and as far as they are concerned a qualified workforce is an asset!

I’m really enjoying the course and there are lots of opportunities to challenge yourself. Last term we had the opportunity to teach the Level 2 students which helped me to build my confidence, be organised and focus on how to communicate a problem and then demonstrate how to solve it!

I think the facilities here are amazing, everything is brand new and easily accessible. The bays and workstations have been really well thought out and are easy to use and practical.

I’ve been learning the basics at the moment; pipe bending and joining and the principles of plumbing.

But it’s not all plumbing - we’ve also been studying customer interaction and behaviour which has been very useful. It's taken me a while to get the right apprenticeship , so now I’m on the course I'm definitely going to make the most of it!
