It's Time To Start Thinking About The Future - Let FMS Help!

Falmouth Marine School will

be throwing open its doors on the 6th March to give prospective students of all ages the chance

to explore the College and its resources and get the advice they need

for their future career or progression in education.

Whether you are a school

leaver, want a change of career, or would like to try something new,

Falmouth Marine School could have the course for you.

Those who attend the event, which runs

from 10am until 2pm will be able to get a feel for

student life when they meet staff and students, visit departments and

gather information about courses available at the College.

Staff will be on hand to

offer advice and guidance on courses and qualifications in

Boatbuilding, Leisure & Watersports, Marine Engineering and

Marine Science. Courses are also available in basic reading, writing

and IT skills.

The College is hoping for a

high number of visitors on its second ever Open Event to be held on a

Saturday. The first was held last year on 28th November

and attracted record numbers of visitors, some travelling from as far

as Wiltshire and Kent.

The College is communicating

the message that ‘there's more for you at Falmouth Marine School’

with visitors being offered financial advice, information on

transport, learning support, student Xtra activities and the Academy

Sports Programme as well as learning about various career options.

Head of Falmouth Marine

School Tom Shaw, said: “This is a great opportunity for the local

community to come and see the range of courses that we offer, meet

staff and get a general feel for the Marine School. We feel that we

have a lot to offer our students and our schedule of advice sessions

is a perfect way to assist them in the decisions they have to make”.

Dave Linnell OBE, Principal

of Cornwall College, said: “Our excellent range of courses, give

our students the best chance of going on to further study or getting

their foot on the career ladder. Our tutors are specialists in their

fields and enjoy passing on their knowledge to new learners. We have

great links with employers so students undertaking a vocational route

leave the College with qualifications and experience relevant to

industry."
