We found the organisation and delivery process through Glasgow Clyde College smooth and efficient.

From pre-funding application meetings to class communications, including additional support requests, course delivery and materials provided, to the ability to accommodate invigilation of the student’s final exam to suit the individual’s working shift patterns, we have been extremely satisfied throughout with all contact from the college.

Nicholas Doherty, Gas Compliance and Quality Assurance Manager, City Building Glasgow

We recently completed training with West College Scotland to help our business expand into the renewable energy industry. The course was very well presented, and all the staff were first class in their approach.

I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Learning about the process from taking initial concepts through to developing an idea is a long and challenging experience.

Learning from colleagues at City, who have been on these journeys before, has direct and indirect benefits to someone who is just starting out.
