"My employer, a firm of Building Services Consulting Engineers, has sponsored me to do this course as the content of the programme is exactly relevant to the practical work I deal with in my job everyday. I spend one day a week in College studying various aspects of design, organisation and management of electrical services and buildings.

"The teaching on the course has been fantastic and really supportive, and I have found it to be of particular benefit to work with specialist software and CAD packages as this has greatly enhanced the skills I can call upon in the work place. After finishing the course there will be a number of opportunities open to me, including completing a full honours degree at university, and much improved career prospects!"
Harrison Smith, Electrical Building Services HNC
