Nicolas hadn’t thought about the Civil Infrastructure programme until a friend suggested it to him. He thought it sounded fun and decided to give it a go. Nicolas is also keen to pursue tertiary study in the field of Civil Engineering when he leaves school and this programme is a good introduction.

“The Civil Infrastructure programme has been really good as it’s shown me the basics of what happens in the industry and the skills I’ll need if I want to work in civil engineering in the future.”

For Nicolas the small class size has made all the difference; as has the tutor, who he says knows the industry really well and is good at explaining things. Nicolas also enjoys the practical nature of the course: “I’m more of a hands-on learner and this course suits my way of learning”. Nicolas is looking forward to getting out on construction sites as part of the programme and putting his new skills into action.
