My Farnborough Story

I generally like fixing things physically and my Dad’s into to that type of thing as well and the RAF so have experience of it that way. Also I thought there aren’t many females in engineering and that’s why I wanted to study it. I really enjoy the ‘tech’ part of the college because we get to use the machines and welding.

General Engineering

I really enjoy the hands-on work we do in the workshop because I have always been more of a hands on person, fixing bicycles and things like that. We had to make an aeroplane section this year and some tools so that’s been really great.
