“My time at NESCol pushed me to develop skills I didn’t realise I had and encouraged real collaboration with my peers. It also gave me the space to grow in confidence and figure out how I work best creatively. For anyone considering returning to study, my advice is simple: take the leap!”
“I would strongly reassure any student that there are many different pathways to success, and there isn’t a single ‘correct’ route. Choosing the path that suits you best is what matters most.”
“I chose this programme because it has very good potential and there are a lot of different branches you can take and types of ships to work on.”
“I absolutely would recommend NESCol. It was the best thing I ever did.”
“Being at sea was amazing! I loved every minute of being out there.”
“Project SEARCH was a great way for me to gain more experience and skills on my journey to employment”.
“This course has helped me tremendously. You all helped me find out what type of work I enjoy and helped me figure out the person I want to be.”
“NESCol has given me a really good grounding – I’ve even managed to go on to win a national competition!”
“I enjoyed learning more about the fashion industry, studying topics such as fashion history and visual merchandising.”
