Name: Ben Fisher
Course: Certificate in Fencing (Level 4)
“I enrolled in the Level 3 fencing course and then went on and completed the Level 4,” says Ben Fisher, NorthTec graduate. “I’d been fencing for a while before that, but I still found it really interesting and informative.”
“I decided to do the course to begin with to support the idea, then continued on to do Level 4 because it’s a really valuable qualification to have. It’s helpful to be accredited for many reasons. It shows you know what you’re doing and can provide clients with peace of mind.”
Ben was already self-employed, running his own fencing business, when he enrolled in the courses, but that didn’t mean there weren’t things to learn.
“The tutors were great. They had valuable insights into the industry and a lot of experience to pass on. It was also great to meet others that are in the same industry to connect and network.”
“The Level 4 course is mostly online, that made it easy to fit in around my work and family. I’m not really a computer person, but I managed to figure it out, so I think it would be pretty accessible to most people. It was a good course, I’d recommend it.”
