I chose Southport College as it is close to home and offered the course that I wanted to do. I have always been interested in vehicles and how they work and have always been fascinated by cars. The staff at college are fantastic and are really easy to get along with. The workshop is amazing too; I can’t think of anything that could be done to make it better! You learn so much on the course; I’ve only been here for a year and have learnt so much already. I am coming back to college next year to study Motor Vehicle Level 2. I want to build upon the knowledge I have learnt in my first year to make me the best I can be in the industry.
