Aaron Bullha
Level 3 Rail Engineering"My lecturers and tutors have all gone out of their way to make sure me and my classmates know everything we need to know, not just in track and rail but general engineering as well. I feel like having the opportunity to practice on real-life rail equipment will help me no matter where in the industry I progress, and it’s all thanks to Newcastle College."
Daisy Glasper
Level 3 Culinary Arts"Newcastle College has supported me so much over the last few years, especially with all the competitions I’ve been part of! I’ve had so many opportunities that I wouldn’t have had without studying here, whether that be the tutors taking the class to Dublin to experience many different food outlets and history or us going to Malta for a two-week work experience placement. I couldn’t have had a more positive experience."
Ethan King
Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Business"As soon as I found out who was going to be teaching me and I saw how good they were, I was absolutely certain that studying at Newcastle College was the right step for me. I had family members who had been Newcastle College students before and they loved it too! Also, the main campus is in the centre of Newcastle so you’re never far away from anything you need or whatever you want to do."
Fay Ingles
Level 3 Make Up Artistry"I was really quite shy when I started at Newcastle College, but thanks to my time here I’ve definitely come out of my shell a lot! I can especially feel the benefits on my placement when I’m working in the salon. I’ve become so capable with the support from my tutors and friends."
Sarah Lane
Level 2 Uniformed and Protective Services"I was welcomed by the course tutors, Dave, George and Kev and felt that no matter whether I was having a good day or bad day, they let me work at my own pace. The tutors are always there to talk to whenever I need them. The course has helped give me experiences and opportunities I wouldn’t have been able to get from school. HITZ has really helped guide me."
Kyle Maddison
Level 3 in Esports"I've had some very good advice from my tutors. Keith, my lecturer, is the one who encouraged me to get a job with the Newcastle United Foundation, where I’m currently working as a Community Coach, running kids’ parties most Saturdays and after school clubs a few times a week."

Level 3 Extended Diploma in Health and Social CareWhen you study with Newcastle College, you give yourself the best opportunity you can to develop new skills, make new friends, and learn from tutors with so much experience in industry that everything you learn can be used straight away when you launch your career. The tutors on my course are the best teachers I’ve ever had, they’ve been through it all and are always sharing their experience with us. You’ll get to learn in fantastic facilities, including simulation suites better than the ones at Newcastle University, and you’ll benefit from learning in a really safe, supportive environment so you can learn the skills you’ll need for the front lines of industry.
