I was wanting to pursue a career in Architectural Technology and after looking at options outside of the region I came across the WITT website and saw it was offered. This was perfect as I could study locally with the help and support of not only the tutors but also the library staff, as well as the vast amount of staff that help students from day-to-day which are all provided by WITT. Knowing I will be having all this support was the green light that lead me to enrol for the course and I can't wait to see how the years ahead progress.
