Your career options include, but are not limited to:
Level 3 Electrical Installation.
Last year, when I was studying my Level 2 course, one of my practical tutors made me realise that I really could make a career out of being an electrician. He gave me the confidence to plan for my future and work out what I want to do, which I really appreciate. The tutors have so much experience and do an amazing job in passing along their knowledge.
Level 2 Plumbing.
I found the session to be very good, and it’s great that I have the certificate to show for future work as well. Now I have a good understanding of the mapress machine, ready for my next step.
Level 1 Plumbing.
Learning about renewable energy sources and how they tie in with plumbing was another high for me because I didn't know much about this subject before I joined.
BTEC Engineering Student.
It's amazing that we have such a great engineering university on our doorstep, with amazing technology facilities, really excited about continuing my study at Hertfordshire University.
