2 On the 1st November 2013, Aberdeen College and Banff & Buchan College merged to form North East Scotland College. The new North East Scotland College (NESCOL) now serves an extensive geographical area with its main centres of delivery in Aberdeen and Fraserburgh as well as learning centres in Ellon, Macduff, Inverurie and the Scottish Maritime Academy in Peterhead. The two Colleges, for many years, shared a commitment to provide the best opportunities for the people of Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire and had worked together on numerous projects and initiatives to fulfil that commitment. We now truly believe, as a single institution, we will be even better placed to do just that. By merging, North East Scotland College now has the opportunity to combine expertise, facilities and resources in a way that best serves the region. In this first NESCOL Part-time Guide, we have not only combined the Part-time courses traditionally offered by both institutions, but have enriched the curriculum offer in the community that we serve. Thank you for choosing North East Scotland College. TEL [email protected] WEB

Jenny, who has been a full-time mum to her two boys for the last few years, felt it was time to think about what she wanted to do career wise now that she has found herself with more free time. Having worked as a travel agent before becoming a mum, Jenny had previously attended College when she left school to study a travel & tourism course. However, when she began to think about returning to work she realised that she wanted to change direction and work with children. Jenny has been volunteering at her sons school and it was enjoying this experience that inspired her to pursue a career as a Pupil Support Assistant. Jenny said, When I decided I wanted to become a Pupil Support Assistant I thought the best way to go about it would be to get a qualification behind me. I have learnt so much on the course, in fact more than I had envisaged, and the combination of attending College, self study at home and my placement has been really beneficial. Studying part-time has been great and has fitted in well with family life. Jenny is looking forward to completing her qualification and hopes to find employment as a Pupil Support Assistant in the next school session. She said, I m glad I decided to come back to College. I have found the course really interesting and enjoyable and think my new qualification will stand me in good stead when applying for jobs. PDA EDUCATION SUPPORT ASSISTANCE ESSENTIAL ACADEMIC SKILLS The PDA Education Support Assistant Course (Professional Development Award) equips you to play a constructive role in encouraging and affirming positive behaviour in the classroom. A child s educational experience is shaped by the adults who support and challenge them in their learning. Education Support Assistants can create a positive learning environment for all children, giving the opportunity to build students self-esteem, improve their quality of life and be an agent of change in their schooling experience. Course booking is subject to core skills testing to be undertaken in the first meeting of the class. The Unit is designed to increase the candidate s skills in academic writing, research and presentation.

Paul (22), who works as a Project Controls Apprentice for AMEC, was initially a full-time student in HNC Mechanical Engineering. He now studies part-time, spending one day out of his working week at the Aberdeen Altens studying for his HND. Working and learning at the same time is proving to be the right way to go for Paul, who is hoping that the HND qualification is going to help him broaden his career prospects. I haven t quite decided which route I m going to take with regards to my career, but currently I think the course helps me communicate with engineers more effectively in my work and to understand their technical terminology. It will also give me the chance to go on to university should I decide to do that further down the line, which would open various doors such as Project Engineering, which is a very responsible and lucrative role. During his time on the course, Paul has developed an invaluable skill set that transfers directly into the workplace, including AutoCAD and physics. The class even put their knowledge to the test, by designing and building a go-kart. Any engineering qualification is valuable in Aberdeen, but the HND is a huge asset should you have the determination to do the work. I would recommend a technical background to anyone working in the oil industry as it is an attractive commodity to employers and sets you apart from most if you work in a non-technical discipline. I would hope that completing the course shows my resolve as a person as well and perhaps gives me a competitive edge in the pool for future job opportunities.

33 Complementary therapy Elaine Ross (34) from Kemnay, has always been interested in massage and decided to do the course to find out how it s done properly and pick up some tips. Elaine, who works as a Technical Assistant for an oil company said I really enjoyed the course and found it really interesting. The atmosphere in the class was great and we all felt relaxed in each others company. My fellow students were all lovely and Kelly and I discovered we work just next to each other in Dyce so have been meeting for lunch. Kelly Bell (32), is originally from Inverness but has lived in Aberdeen most of her life and works in health and safety in the oil industry. Kelly explains, I decided to enrol on the massage course to broaden my horizons, and give me another skill I could use if I decide to go travelling in the future. I enjoyed my time at NESCol so much that I am now looking into further courses that the College have available. Another member of the class is Laura Mozga (25) who works as a chemist for an oil and gas service company. Laura, who is from Latvia, gave her take on her College experience. The course was great and I thought it was very well organised. I had a great insight into a completely different field thanks to my lovely lecturer who made the subject very exciting for us. We had lots of laughs along the way too! Carlos Albuquerque (37) was a professional football player in his home country of Brazil. After moving to the UK and settling in Aberdeen in 2010, he left his football career behind and has been working at the Jurys Inn hotel in the city centre. Carlos has aspirations of becoming a professional masseuse and thought the course would be a good starting point for him. Like his classmates, he very much enjoyed his College experience and was also complimentary of the lecturer. I had a very good teacher and have made some friends; I hope that we can all keep in touch now that we have finished the course. The final member of the group is Susan Melvin (48) from Aberdeen. Susan works as an administrator for a trade union and decided to do the course so that she could learn how to give a proper massage. She described her experience at North East Scotland College, The course was great fun as well as being very informative. We laughed so much every week and our lecturer was wonderful. She made learning fun but made sure we understood the important parts and was very patient. Susan continued, I think it s important to keep challenging yourself to learn new things and new skills throughout your life it keeps you mentally young and makes life more interesting! One group of students have had a great experience on a part-time course at North East Scotland College and as well as learning about their subject of interest, have made new friends too! The group were studying an Aroma Massage class on a Thursday evening at the Aberdeen and individually have all enjoyed their part-time study at the College
