Meet our students
Abbie McGill, Aspire Entry Level 3 I chose to come to Southport College as it’s close to my home and when I visited an open evening I really liked it. The Aspire course sounded really good too; I liked that you get to do tasters in lots of different subjects. The course has really improved my confidence and helped me to decide what I want to do in the future. Next year I am staying at Southport College to study Health and Childcare Level 1.
Michael Cherry, Aspire Entry Level 3 I’ve enjoyed the Aspire course at Southport College so much. It’s a good stepping stone to help you decide what career course you want to do next and the staff are friendly and helpful. I’ve really enjoyed learning different subjects and taking part in lots of taster sessions. I’ve decided to study Bricklaying next year and would really like to work in the construction industry in the future.
