Here’s what our students say about Nescot
WILL “My course has equipped me with skills for real-world tasks, thanks to the hands-on college experience. A highlight for me has been working on a ‘stretch and challenge roofing task’, suggested by my tutor to enhance my learning, useful skills that I’ll be able to apply in my next steps as a full-time carpenter.”
EVA
JIYA
“You get to learn a variety of different topics that gives you a wide knowledge base. The course is not just focussed on programming, but also includes for instance, business networking. Our tutors are really kind, helpful and supportive.”
“Nescot’s partnership with the Cruise Career Springboard programme has been amazing! We were so lucky to visit all the different ships and have big names in the industry chatting to us. I’d never really considered the cruise industry as a career option before, but it’s definitely on my radar now.”
