Resistant Materials
"I studied Engineering at GCSE so AS
Resistant Materials seemed like a
good option to take. The AS year of
Resistant Materials was really
enjoyable as the course is broken
down into manageable chunks, where
you’ll do a balanced mix of theory
and practical. I’ve found the theory
lessons are a great way to support
your practical lessons and prepare
you for the exam. I really enjoy the
practical lessons as there’s a great
atmosphere in the workshop and
you’ve always got the right help
when needed. There’s a great range
of kit at college from basic hand
tools to state of the art CNC
machinery, all of which 6th form
students are encouraged to use
independently as part of your
application. In the A2 year you’ll
work as a commercial designer and do
a whole project, where you’ll work
closely with a client to produce a
quality product. You’ll have
priority in the workshop, which is
really useful for hitting the
deadlines which is essential due to
the workload. In Resistant materials
you’ll learn a vast variety of
skills all of which will look great
on any CV or UCAS
application.“ |
