Northfields pupils visit the College

Pupils from Northfields Technology College have visited Dunstable College to undertake a session in building and maintaining PCs. The visitors worked in small groups with assistance from some of the College’s Level 3 PC Maintenance students. Northfields Teacher Darren Travi comments, “The opportunity of visiting Dunstable College’s IT department has given pupils the chance to engage in practical work in the areas of PC maintenance and networking, to complement studies being undertaken as part of the GCSE course at school. This continues the partnership formed between the IT departments of Dunstable College and Northfields Technology College started two years ago.”

College tutor Derek Condon adds, “The Level 3 PC Maintenance students have had an opportunity to help in these sessions to make up part of their final assessment for their courses. We see this as a way forward and an example of how two institutions can work together for the joint benefit of all their students.”
