I had previously studied mechanical and electrical engineering and, after a bit of time off in-between, the position of process operator felt like a good choice for me. I have found the tutors are really good. The facilities are also really good here and I think the College has everything you would need.
The qualifications could lead to a career as a CAD draughtsperson. It could also help you to progress into similar courses within Higher Education.
