Engineering
Case Study
“I came to Suffolk New College, as part of the GOALs project when I was at school. I’d enjoyed that so I enrolled on the National Diploma course. The course is a multi-skilled taught programme. I’ve learnt loads of things including how to build circuits and about health and safety.
The students on the course are good, and the teachers are friendly. There are not many exams as the course is mainly based on assignments – so keeping up to date with assignments is very important. I’ve definitely enjoyed my time on the course and at Suffolk New College – I would certainly recommend both. I would like to become an Electrician so am hoping to come back to college on the Electrical Installation course.”
