“Before starting this course, I didn’t know which service to join – the Army, Police, Fire or Paramedic. Studying Public Services has helped me to choose and my career goal is now to be in the Army as a dog handler. Studying this course has given me more information on what my chosen career involves and how to keep my eyes on that job role. The course is really interesting with lots of different activities and talks from people in the Army and Marines who come into college to tell us more about what they do. I’ve really enjoyed my time at Furness College.”
