I chose to come to Petroc as it was the nearest college to me and had the course I wanted to do. I was interested in learning a trade or skill that involved being hands-on.

The highlights have been trying to replicate different marbles and trying spray painting for the first time. The thing that I most enjoy about studying at Petroc is the atmosphere in the workshop and the tutors that really want to help you.

When I leave Petroc, I plan to continue at the place I am working currently, finishing bespoke kitchens and go on to the Level 3 Painting and Decorating course.

I think training in painting and decorating or any trade is a good investment, even if you don’t go into the industry, the skills you learn can help you in your own life and make it easier. Also, you couldn’t ask for a better tutor to help you through the course.
