Newbury College is holding a series of advice clinics and a specific post A Level/Level 3 guidance event at its campus on Monks Lane this summer, where members of its Information, Advice and Guidance team will be on hand to answer questions. The dates are:
Thursday 18 August, 11am to 4pm ' A-level results day advice clinic
Monday 22 August, 11am to 4pm ' Post A-level/Level 3 guidance event
Thursday 25 August, 11am to 4pm ' GCSE results day advice clinic
Friday 26 August, 10am to 12:30pm ' GCSE results day advice clinic
At the post A-level/Level 3 guidance event on Monday 22 August, students can find out about options for higher education courses, as well as obtain information and view the current opportunities for apprenticeships. Apprenticeships combine paid employment with on-the-job training and offer the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications.
All of the sessions are free to attend. The College is also open every day throughout the summer holidays for queries or advice on all courses starting in September.
Newbury College today hosted its annual technology project presentation event, where over 90 students demonstrated their skills.
Two Newbury College IT students have recently finished updating a patient information point (PIP) database at West Berks Hospital in Thatcham. Students, Kamil Pilecki and Przemyslaw Budzynski, started working on the project during their five-day work placement, but were determined to see the project through to completion.
Peter Broughton, volunteer at West Berkshire Hospital, said: We asked Kamil and Przem to help replace the PIP survey as part of their work placement. They rose to the challenge and went above and beyond what was expected of them, carrying on with the project long after they had to. The new survey has been loaded onto our computers and is undergoing trials before its operational. We'd like to thank them for their hard work and we wish them all the best for the future.
Both students are moving on to Southampton University in September to continue their IT studies.
Congratulations to six students on our Level 1 Animal Care course who excelled during their work placement week, achieving 100% attendance. To celebrate their success, students ' Alicia Maggs, Christopher Mobbs, Lewis Baily, Holly Hibberd, Mark Williams and Shane Parkin ' were presented with certificates from the principal, Dr Anne Murdoch.
Animal care tutor, Ria Poliquin, said: It was wonderful to celebrate the achievement of our students who worked very hard during their work placement week and gained valuable experience in the industry.
