Success Stories
“I was working as a Dental Nurse before I came to College, but now that you need your qualifications I wanted to come back to study. I have been working as a dental professional for over 20 years and decided I wanted to gain some formal qualifications.
Studying at Coatbridge College has been a great experience and the support I received was next to none. It doesn’t matter if you’re a mature or young student; they recognise that everyone has different learning needs. I was supported a lot by the Horizon Centre which took a huge weight off my shoulders. They provided me with the guidance I needed to complete my course.
I loved my course and the staff were amazing. I put in a lot of hard work and it was definitely worth it.
