He has secured a place at John Moores University to study Mechanical Engineering in September, this will enable him to progress into a career in Aerospace.

“I have really enjoyed the course, it was a lot more hands on than I expected, especially the electrical engineering part of it. We learnt about wiring and the fabrication of metal for support beams amongst other things that we were able to put into practise in the workshops. The lecturers at Hugh Baird treated us as adults and were very friendly and approachable, I felt like I could speak to them about anything. All of my lecturers were top quality. I have definitely become more confident while I have been at Hugh Baird College.”
