“My employer recommended the Electrical & Electronic Control Engineering HNC to me and on a personal level I wanted to gain more experience in the subject. Having studied my A Levels and then gone straight into work, I wanted the flexibility of learning in college one day per week and also working full-time.

I enjoy the fun class discussions and the tutors are really great at the College. I am currently working on a project trying to improve the range of homing antenna for distress beacons, which is linked to my job. This is very useful to my work and I am finding it really interesting.

My plans for the future are to go on to do the HND, a top-up year and then study the MSc in Wireless and Microwave Communication Engineering at Cardiff University. I would certainly recommend the course to others who are going down a similar path of working alongside studying or entering into higher education in the field of engineering.”
