"It has to be greater than all of us just doing what we do."

Our Principal and CEO, Audrey Cumberford, was featured in Mondays Herald article discussing the future of post-school education in Scotland and the role colleges play within a tertiary education system.

In the article, Audrey highlights the importance of creating a more joined-up and equitable approach to education, one that puts students at the centre while recognising the unique strengths of both colleges and universities.

As one of Scotland's largest colleges, we're proud to be part of the conversation shaping the future of education and opportunity.

Ten students from our Level 5 Pre-Apprenticeship Electrical course recently went head-to-head in our annual Competition Build, putting their skills, knowledge and hard work to the test over two days.

A huge congratulations to Graham Clark, who was crowned this year's winner! 👏

The competition gave students the chance to showcase the skills and knowledge they've developed throughout the course.

A big thank you to City Electrical Factors (Graham Street) for sponsoring prizes for our winning candidate, and to OCS and Q-Electrical for their continued support of the course and competition.
