James O’Reilly
Level 2 Plastering
After enrolling at ncn aged 17, James says he has no regrets about choosing the College for his studies.
“I have really enjoyed my time at ncn and will be coming back next year to study NVQ Level 3 Plastering. The lecturers really know what they’re talking about and encourage you to try your best and see what you can achieve.”
Having recently come first in the regional heats of the WorldSkills UK Drywall Systems competition, James feels he owes a great deal to his tutors: “I never would have even entered if my tutors hadn’t believed in me, but since the regionals, I have gone on to finish third at national level, and I’m looking forward to going to Wales to represent the UK on the world stage later this year.”
