Alex Woods
Engineering - Apprenticeship NI (Level 3) - (Fabrication & Welding)
Being an apprentice suits me because I am a hands-on type of person and I only have class once a week and the other days I am out working and earning a wage. I prefer the small class sizes and I get on well with my classmates.
