"When I first started the course and saw all the brand-new equipment, I knew I was where I wanted to be to start my career in Engineering. My favourite part of the course is working on the CNC Millers and Lathes in the workshops, working on these machines will give me the skills needed for when I enter the world of work. I hope more people aspire to become engineers in the future and enjoy the course as much as I do"
