Did you Know?: Engineers save more lives than doctors in the early stages of drought and earthquakes disasters, by reconnecting water supplies, thus avoiding the spread of disease. And have you wondered who creates and maintains the technology?

What our students say: I live in Tonyrefail but chose to study at Bridgend College where I completed the National Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I have since secured an apprenticeship with a local engineering firm who deal in service and repair on electronic motor drives and power supplies. As part of my apprenticeship, I am now studying the HNC in Electrical/Electronic Engineering at the College.
