Local firm invests in a new Electrical Suite at the Learning Warehouse

The Learning Warehouse, Dunstable College’s Leighton Buzzard campus, is boasting a brand new Electrical Suite after receiving heavy investment from a local business.

The invested funds have provided excellent facilities for students and the community. The facilities are currently being utilised by local school children on the 14-16 years programme, and by the 16 years and over students. All students are working towards their City and Guilds qualifications.

This new electrical suite forms an integral part of the facilities at the Learning Warehouse. The plumbing course is going from strength to strength, attracting a host of new students. The campus also offers other vocational courses, including Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy. These courses offer fully operational salons to the public, providing students with the opportunity to gain experience from working in a salon environment.

One of the key aims of the Learning Warehouse is to provide a valuable local training centre for the people of Leighton Buzzard and the surrounding area. 14-16 Coordinator Rachel Halling commented “The Learning Warehouse has been designed to provide excellent facilities for a variety of vocational courses to all ages. It is great to see local firms investing in training local people to benefit the community as a whole”.

The new Level 1 City and Guilds Electrical course will be starting on Monday 29th October. For further information on this and other courses at the Learning Warehouse please call 01525 374123.
