Bury College recently hosted a Higher Education Fair for its current learners, welcoming representatives from over 20 different universities.
Adult learners on our Multi Skills Level 1 Award have been supported with a free Skills Kit that includes key items like a tool kit and a drill to help enhance their learning.
Free Skills Kits are available for most of our adult courses and include materials and equipment to support learners with studies and allows them to carry out practical elements of the course.
Our learners on the Multi Skills Level 1 Award spoke about how the free Skills Kit and how the course as a whole has helped them learn important skills that can be used in the workplace and for completing DIY tasks at home.
Christine Seal said: “Thanks to the amazing staff and support, I have been able to learn basic DIY skills to use around the house and have even started plastering! The bonus of the Skills Kit has meant I can start tasks whenever I want.”
Muhammad Khurshid Alam added: “I have always been fascinated by construction. This course has given me great insight and has taught me some key skills.”
Alison Mooney praised the course for helping with her confidence by saying: “Thanks to this course, I now feel more confident than ever in tackling any DIY job around the house.”
During this Multi Skills Level 1 evening course, learners have completed practical tasks across Carpentry, Bricklaying, Plastering, Painting, Electrical and Plumbing. Some of the topics include:
Perry Cuppello, Assistant Director for Construction at Bury College, said: “Learners were recently overjoyed to receive a toolkit that will help them in their DIY activities or to move forward into the industry. It has been a pleasure having these motivated learners with us to complete their qualification as all have embraced the opportunity to succeed.”
