Don’t just take our word for it - hear what Lucas and Eve have to say about their time at Fife College.
Lucas Binnie is studying for a career in Professional Cookery and credits his time at Fife College with being in employment: “Studying at the College has absolutely helped to prepare me for my career. I am now a part-time cook in a care home in Kirkcaldy thanks to my course. I run the kitchen myself, feeding up to 32 people, so it can be a challenge but that's what I love about it. The course helps develop an understanding of how things work in the industry and the skills I learned have been invaluable.
“I’ve loved every minute of studying SVQ: Professional Cookery at SCQF Levels 4 and 5. I love learning new skills and techniques so my demonstration class was my favourite.
“After completing the Level 5 course, my next step is on to Advanced Certificate: Patisserie and Bakery. After that, I plan on going on to HNC: Professional Cookery. Once I’ve totally completed my studies, my goal is to become a head or executive chef.”
Eve Sinclair studied for a career in Technical Theatre and Production Arts, and loved being able to study for her HND locally in Fife. Eve said: “Studying at Fife College was great; it’s very accessible with all types of transport which was perfect for me as I didn’t drive when I first started, and there are train stations and bus stations right on the College’s doorstep.
“The HND: Technical Theatre and Production Arts course was good on paper but even better in real life. It offers everything from across theatre with all the different genres and departments. I found that, although there was paperwork and written aspects, the practical learning outweighed it which made the learning a lot simpler for me.
“Since completing the course, I have done a seven week assistant stage manager/deputy stage manager placement with Bard in the Botanics in Glasgow, and I am currently working as a casual technician with the Byre Theatre in St Andrews before returning to work again with Bard in the Botanics as an assistant stage manager on their pantomime at Christmas.”
