The fine art of sugar crafting has been highly respected for centuries, ornate edible delicacies can be traced back to the British Tudor period; whilst in the Far East; Japanese ‘Wagashi’ – edible fruit shaped treats – were popular with ancient dynasties. Level 3 Catering students were lucky enough to receive a tutorial in the art of sugar sculpting from one of region’s finest chefs, Mike Aldridge. Renowned chefs from NECTA visited TyneMet to share their knowledge and pass on cooking skills - aimed at testing a chef’s ability whilst inspiring learning.

The facilities help me with my course. The sports hall, gym and the equipment on offer is great and this will help me to get some good grades on the course. Hopefully I can then progress to Level 3.
Jordan CampbellLevel 2 Diploma in Sport
I chose this course as I am a foster carer and wanted to learn counselling skills to help children. I have learned so much about myself as a person throughout the counselling courses leading to the foundation degree and also in the way I relate to others. The staff and the other students make the course a very supportive environment to learn. I love the course and hope to go on to achieve an honours degree. Then go on to counsel children.
Alice Marie DixonFoundation Degree in Counselling
I really like having the opportunity to study cabin crew and resort rep alongside my main course. These courses have really opened up my future career options once I leave the college.
Charlotte WhighamLevel 3 Subsidiary Diploma in Travel & Tourism
Having a difficult time in my life and come out the other side I decided that I wished to help others in similar situations. I have been given the "Tool Kit" for life and this course is teaching me how to use it. My aim is to complete the course and move forward to the L3. My long term goal is to do the Foundation Degree and then hopefully the Honours Degree after which I would like to gain employment working in the field of substance misuse. Under the guidance of an excellent Tutor, (Rob McGinley), the work we do is challenging and exciting and gives massive potential for personal growth and development.
