Where will I be studying?

Our Construction and Automotive courses are based in our new Construction and Automotive Green Technology Centre, from September 2024. Students studying Construction and Motor Vehicle courses, or our new T-Level in Electrotechnical Installation will have access to our new site and state-of-the-art facility during practical work, to gain an insight into the facilities used in the Construction and Automotive industry.

What facilities can I use outside of my studies?

We aim to provide our students with an excellent learning experience that gives them the practical skills to make a difference within the industry. At college, you'll embrace your independence, make lifelong friends and access our award-winning facilities and activities.

At Kidderminster College, we aim to give you as many opportunities as possible to have fun alongside your studies, including guest speakers, work experience, trips and on-campus events.

Are there places to eat and socialise?

There is a small kitchen on site, and students are allowed to leave the site to go to nearby shops, which include Greggs and a Burger King.

There is also a general seating area for students to socialise, study or relax.

Do you have study areas for students?

On the Main Campus in Market Street, we have a number of areas for students to sit down, relax and study, including a common space, mezzanine and our Student Experience Centre.

Tutor - Motor Vehicle

I have over ten years of experience teaching and delivering Motor Vehicle Maintenance and Repair courses. I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training and a TAQA Assessor qualification. I completed my Level 3 Motorsport Maintenance and Repair course whilst working for a private vehicle sales company preparing, repairing and servicing vehicles for the sales team. I then progressed by serving as a Vehicle mechanic for the British Military during the early stages of my teaching career. I have experience delivering Motor Vehicle Level 1, 2 and 3 courses for the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) and The City and Guilds. I enjoy seeing learners progress and develop skills to enter the ever-adapting Automotive industry as a mechanic.
