Doncaster College

StudentView

Name: Caine McNicholas
Course: Pre 16 STEP Construction
Interesting Fact: I’m currently building a timber frame with stud walls.

 

I go to Doncaster College (The Hub) because I would like to know what life is like in the construction industry.

 

School have put me on this placement because they think it will benefit me more than if I go to school five days a week. I feel as though Mr Watson (my lecturer) is very supportive towards me completing my work and towards others in the group.

 

Mr Watson is one of those people who will have a laugh but only to a certain extent. So far, we have done bricklaying and joinery. We are currently putting together a timber frame with stud walls which will enable us to complete our course.

 

In this timber frame, we will be plastering, tiling and painting it. Even though I only go to College three days a week all this is definitely possible. Sylvia, the learning assistant, is a very nice woman and is easy to get on with. She helps us and supports us when she is available. I appreciate being at College and wish to stay here.
