“I took a part-time motor vehicle course at school and thought it was fun. Although I was disappointed with my GCSE results I was pleased to find a suitable course. I am given lots of help in the classroom to improve my Maths and English which I appreciate.
“I like the friendly atmosphere at BCoT and find it easy to get to know people. I am a member of the student council and pass on any requests from students to tutors. I enjoy this responsibility and have matured a lot since joining college.
“I have learnt much more on the foundation course than I expected and really enjoy the practical lessons. The facilities are good and the garage has given me an idea of what a proper working environment would be like. I can take engines, clutches and gearboxes out and deal with brakes and tyres.
“I intend to stay at BCoT until I gain the highest possible qualification to give myself the best chance of job opportunities. My long term ambition is to work on touring cars having spent lots of time with my uncle who races cars.“
