Student Voice
“
I’m more of a hands-on learner and my course involved a lot of practical work, which was good. The tutors in Plumbing are great and really helpful. It was an opportunity presented by North Lindsey that allowed me to apply for my apprenticeship, so my course definitely helped me with my progression. I learnt a lot of skills needed to be successful in industry.
