“I began studying engineering at Reaseheath on a Level 1 schools programme so I felt very at home when I became a full time student.
“The Level 2 Certificate gives you a good base of knowledge and the Level 3 gives you a balance of theory and practical sessions, both of which are well taught. The classrooms and workshops are modern and provide a professional environment in which to learn.
“The diagnosis equipment is up to date and you’re taught how to use it on a wide range of machinery. I work on a dairy farm and my duties include looking after the tractors and equipment, so these skills are very useful.
“The teaching staff are very supportive and experienced…and there’s a good social scene on campus.”
