“The lecturers know the course is intense, but they are prepared to put things in place to help you.”
“On the SWAP course, I found myself thriving in a way I never had before!”
“The College has given me the confidence to return to education, without the worry of whether I would fit in.”
“I honestly don’t think university could have taught me the skills I have learned here.”
“The College is immense for learning and my positive experience was thanks to the people. All the lecturers made it really easy, and it was a pleasure to come in and learn.”
“Since joining SMA, I haven’t looked back! I’ve never doubted my decision to become a seafarer, as the opportunity for career growth has kept me motivated.”
“Being able to learn the theory and then apply it in a practical setting is really beneficial. I developed many skills from studying the Foundation Apprenticeship, communication, teamwork, and collaborative working, to name just a few.”
“The knowledge and practical skills I learned at NESCol have come into play with this role. I meet so many people from all over the world and take great satisfaction in recommending restaurants, activities, and experiences that will make their visit to Scotland an unforgettable one. “
“I have enjoyed every aspect of it: the practical, learning new techniques and knowledge, gaining great relationships with the College staff and other students. I wish I made this change sooner!”
“The lecturers’ different seafaring backgrounds and teaching styles have helped me understand the subjects better.”
