Former engineering student Harry Taylor-Marsh sees his aviation career taking off!

Choosing Warrington & Vale Royal College was a no-brainer for former student Harry Taylor-Marsh, who achieved excellent GCSE grades at The Heath School and wanted a course that could fuel his ambition to work in aviation. The opportunities the course provided to dive into hands-on skills like welding, soldering, and 3D printing while keeping his options for higher education and employment open most appealed to him.

After his course, Harry secured his place at university, where he gained a BEng Aircraft Engineering with Pilot Studies. Now, Harry has the choice of completing his master’s at Cranfield University or stepping into the exciting world of aviation as a commercial pilot!

Harry says: "I really enjoyed my time at college, and I still think fondly of it! It has enabled me to complete my university course with two offers from the world-renowned Cranfield University to complete my master’s in safety in aviation before moving on to the Air Accident Investigation Branch or to fly for an airline based within the UK. Without Warrington & Vale Royal College, this wouldn’t have been possible."
