Grace

Engineering Alumni Student

I chose to study Engineering because my family are passionate about the subject, and I had enjoyed learning about it in high school, so I wanted to continue studying at West Lancashire College. My favourite part of the course was the workshop, where we created a variety of projects, including a Plunbob. My next step was to secure an apprenticeship with an engineering company in Wigan, and after completing that, I aimed to work towards becoming a project leader or manager.

Michael

Electrical Alumni Student

As an Electrical student, I progressed from Level 2 to Level 3, steadily increasing my knowledge and understanding of the course. I developed strong attention to detail and a solid understanding of electrical science principles. I aimed to secure an electromechanical apprenticeship at Jaguar Land Rover.

Ryan

Engineering Alumni Student

I chose this course to explore the type of engineering career I would like to pursue in the future. The tutors were amazing, and I particularly enjoyed the CAD and materials elements of the course.

Richard

Engineering Alumni Student

I chose the Engineering Level 3 course because of my interest in the industry. I enjoyed working alongside the other students on my course, and the job opportunities at Sellafield were fantastic.

Mikey

Engineering Alumni Student

After enjoying Engineering in high school, I decided to continue by studying the Level 3 course at West Lancashire College. I particularly enjoyed the trip to Austria in Summer 2024 with my classmates.

Ciaran

Engineering Alumni Student

I have an interest in Aerospace Engineering, and it is a strong area for my future career. I enjoyed learning about materials and metal properties, as well as the Maths elements of the course.

Henry

Engineering Alumni Student

After enjoying Design Technology in high school and achieving good grades in Maths and Physics, I chose to study Engineering at West Lancashire College to further my knowledge. I’ve had fantastic opportunities, including participating in The Lancashire Colleges’ Skills Competition, where we placed 1st in 2024 and 2nd in 2025. My tutor, Mike Ashcroft, arranged a week of work experience at Tenant, which was an amazing experience. I’m now looking forward to progressing onto a Degree Apprenticeship in Mechanical Engineering.

Nick

Electrical Student

Electrical was the right course for me as I wanted to study a trade and felt it was the best career option for my future. The course is very hands-on, which I really enjoy, and the facilities are excellent, giving me plenty of time in the workshop to develop my skills. I also make use of the free college transport, which makes getting to and from college easy and cost-free. I think this course is a great option for anyone wanting to go into the construction industry, as there are plenty of job opportunities for electricians and it offers a strong earning potential. On my days off, I work for a property management company as a labourer to gain work experience. This will enhance my CV and help me when applying for job roles once I am qualified. Once fully qualified, I hope to gain employment straight away and begin my career in the electrical industry.
