Student Testimonials

The tutors for the apprenticeship are great as they have years of railway engineering experience, so they are very knowledgeable.

I am really enjoying the course. I am interested in the subject and that keeps me motivated. Plus, there is variety, you are not in the class every day, but you are out on trips or there are guest speakers.

I definitely appreciate SERC’s more technical, practical approach to learning. I was never the best at exams, and this course suited me - and I was glad to be focussing on one subject which I love.

The best part about this course is the tutors who are very experienced in the field. I enjoy all modules, but my favourite is Anatomy and Physiology. I also enjoy the fact that I am learning different areas of one subject.

My favourite thing about my course is the practical side of working in the kitchen and learning how to professionally decorate the pieces we make.

The thing that I enjoy the most about SERC is the support you have inside and outside of the classroom.

We invite clients in when we can for assessments or when they book in for services in the Lisburn campus salon, which makes for a great learning environment since we can practice our hair and make-up skills on real people.

The best part of the course is the teaching. It feels like we are being taught one to one, even though there are other people in the class, it feels like they are just talking to you – all the lecturers are amazing.

College is very different from school. The atmosphere is more mature, and you are treated like an adult.
