Osian Jones
Pre-Vocational Level 4
“I studied on the Pre-Vocational 4 course at Coleg Menai. I had the chance to study different subjects and I learnt a lot of new skills. The range of subjects helped me to decide what I wanted to do next. Twice a week, we had the opportunity to go to different vocational areas and did some work in the community, which I really enjoyed. Staff on the Independent Living Skills helped me with getting on the stonemasonry course; they made sure that I knew everything about the course so I could decide if it was the right course for me. I’m currently studying stonemasonry at Coleg Menai and I really like the course. I’m looking forward to all aspects of the stonemasonry course and would like to work in this industry in the future. ”
