DUE to popular demand, Paragon is running evening classes at its College Training Centre in Station Approach, Ashley Road, Bournemouth.

The Motor NVQ Level 3 qualification is funded by the government and is ideal for experienced technicians who have achieved their Level 2 in the last couple of years and now wish to continue their studies at a time and place to suit them.

Colin Dietrich, one of the motor learners on programme, said: “I have learnt so much in just one evening, after being in the trade for many years it is good to be able to work with modern technology whilst I am working towards my level three.”

Andy McMinn, Engineering Divisional Director for Paragon, added: “This option provides the flexibility to employers to engage in Apprenticeships and progressions to Advanced Apprenticeships. Due to the change in the economy, Paragon is keen to keep up with the demand and meet the needs of both the employer and the learner.”

Places on the course are limited.
