"I never thought I would become a teacher after working in industry for so many years, but it has been a great move for me. I enjoy working at the college and learning new skills each week. The college has encouraged me to get my teaching qualification, and seeing students progress gives you a really good feeling." – Barry, Electrical & Plumbing Lecturer at UCG
"The college has given me the chance to learn new skills in a trade I’ve always been interested in. The teachers show me what plumbing work is done on construction sites and in homes. I have not only gained a qualification but also secured an apprenticeship with a local plumbing company!" – Kaine Evans, Level 2 Diploma in Plumbing student
