Uniformed Protective Services

I’m really enjoying the fitness of the course and being able to link that back to fitness lessons. The facilities at the college are quite nice, you’re able to go down to the gym and they’ve got basketball hoops and football nets and mats so you can do different martial arts, but then you can to the learning resource centre in the library to get books.


We get loads of guest speakers from the Fire Service, the police and the military, and they’re always interesting to hear and make us do activities.

I think the tutors on my course are quite stern but fair, they’ll tell you how it is, and they’ll support you any way you’re willing to try as long as you put in the effort.

As part of my work placement, I joined the mountaineering club.
