Admission advice for international students

“I’ve known for a while that I wanted to be a professional chef, so I decided to study Catering at the Newtown College campus. The teachers have taught me a lot of knife skills, but more importantly, kitchen management skills. If you want to get into this sector, I would recommend Newtown.”

“My experience so far as an apprentice for the firefighting service has been very valuable for me. I perform repairs and maintenance on the station’s vehicles, which is a lot of responsibility, but I’ve learned to deal with the pressure on the job.”

About Grŵp NPTC Group

PROS

  • The chance to study a variety of qualification types around Wales, including A -Levels, BTECS and vocational courses based on skill -based occupations.
  • NPTC Group offers university -level courses, which is not a common feature at further education colleges in general. These courses can be taken full or part -time, and tend to offer class sizes that are much smaller than those at universities around the UK. Many students would agree that small class sizes improve communication between teachers and students, and the quality of work accomplished.
  • One of the major benefits for foreign students is that English language support is given to anybody who has difficulties with the language. Students report that this allows them to feel more comfortable in an academic environment while speaking English. Additionally, this also helps to prepare them for job interviews for work experience placements.

CONS

  • When calculating your budget, it’s important to know that student accommodation is not provided by this education group. This means that you will have to either live with a family in a homestay situation, or rent a private flat.
