“I would definitely recommend this course, and I already have to my brothers, who have worked as deckhands for many years. I want to inspire them and offer guidance so they can also become skippers.”
“The course was not only enjoyable in terms of the content, but it also prepares you for a career in the performing arts, both onstage and behind the scenes. The lecturers are excellent and very well connected within the industry, which is really useful.”
“The learning environment is relaxed and supportive, and every member of staff I’ve interacted with has been professional, friendly and encouraging.”
“What I enjoyed most was having the opportunity to come out of my shell, meet new people and build my confidence socially, while also learning about an industry that I am passionate about.”
“I really appreciated the level of engagement from lecturers. I’d never experienced that before – they did everything possible for me to succeed.”
“I’ve really enjoyed the practical side of the HNC. It’s given me the opportunity to build and refine my treatment skills in a professional setting and apply what we learn in class to real-life practice.”
“From gaining industry experience through my internship, to growing my skills as a content creator, to meeting new people and receiving support from lecturers, my time at NESCol has played a big role in my personal and professional development.”
“The three years were great as you get to do a wide range of treatments, which gives you a proper feel for what it’s like to work as a Beauty Therapist.”
“My classmates are guys you can talk to. They’re all fishermen, and after a week everyone knew each other.”
“My time at NESCol pushed me to develop skills I didn’t realise I had and encouraged real collaboration with my peers. It also gave me the space to grow in confidence and figure out how I work best creatively. For anyone considering returning to study, my advice is simple: take the leap!”
