Alec KeeperStonemasonry

I joined the Stonemasonry course at Glasgow Met as a mature student. It took me two years to find an employer to sponsor me through the course but I got there eventually and it was certainly worth the wait. I really enjoy my course and everything we cover is relevant to the workplace.

I’ve worked on several interesting projects recently including a stone plaque for a sensory garden at Gartnavel Hospital. I also won a competition to design a monument

celebrating the life of Scots poet Robert Burns; so I have been working with my fellow students and lecturers to create a six foot stone pillar which bends in the shape of a ploughshare. The word ‘LUVE’ will also be chiselled out to represent the old Scots word for ‘love’ which was frequently used by Burns in his work. This monument will form part of the new look Bridgeton Cross so it will be great to see it in place and I hope the community like it.

I have put everything into my course and have been lucky enough to be rewarded for my efforts. I have won Apprentice of the Year for the past two years, and was recently nominated for VQ Learner of the Year. I cannot thank the lecturers at Glasgow Met enough for their guidance and tuition. I’ve gained so much knowledge on the course and I’m growing in confidence all the time. I’m looking forward to further developing my craft skills and exploring other opportunities linked to Stonemasonry.

IC3 (Internet and Computing Core Certification)


Sheena WalkerMicrosoft Certified Application Specialist

I’m a Senior Personnel Assistant at Glasgow Met and the course has made my job so much easier.

Most of my work is Microsoft Office based so when the college recently upgraded to the latest version of the software I didn’t want to be left behind.

The MCAS qualification covers the packages of Microsoft Office - Word,

PowerPoint, Excel, Access and Outlook - and I’d recommend it to anyone in a similar position. The fact it’s recognised worldwide is another reason.

Each package is covered by a book, which is supplied by the college. It was hard at times to combine my work and studies but the course is flexible so I was able to fit it around my life.

I really enjoyed the experience of learning new skills and meeting people I wouldn’t have met otherwise. The lecturers were also really helpful.

It’s given me a taste for more. Maybe next time I’ll do a part-time leisure course, something unrelated to my job, so we’ll see how that goes.

Janice Kelly Oil Painting and World Tour of Cookery

I’ve been painting with oils for a number of years but felt I needed to brush up on my technique after taking a short break.

This is my first course at the Met but I’m enjoying it and getting a chance to make new friends.

I’m still a bit rusty with the brush but every week makes a big difference and I can feel myself getting back into the swing of things.

The course began with an introduction to oils and the techniques used and

since then we have produced some still life and, my favourite, landscape paintings.

They’re not quite up there with my previous work, some of which was bought by the fashion designer Ted Baker, but I can see progress. After this I plan to do the intermediate class.

As for the World Tour of Cookery course, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed creating all kinds of cuisine from around the globe, such as Indian, Chinese and Greek.

Each dish reflects the flavours of the country chosen and all dishes use authentic ingredients to produce the genuine article.

I plan to do even more courses once I finish these so am looking forward to them.

In the meantime, I’d like to thank my carer Lesley Meffin. I have a severe form of arthritis and cannot walk long distances but Lesley has supported me come rain, hail or shine.

Wine and Spirit Education Trust Intermediate Certificate

Wine and Spirit Education Trust Advanced Certificate

The Whisky Trail / Advanced Whisky Trail





Fiona LoveWine and Spirit Education Trust

Intermediate Certificate

I’ve always been interested in wine but the course really opened my eyes to the amazing variety available and the kinds of grapes used.

As well as the written side of things, I was given the chance to sample all kinds of wine and this allowed me to form my own opinion on what I like and dislike.

This knowledge has been invaluable because it led to me landing a job recommending wine to customers.

As part of the banqueting team at Glasgow’s Marriot Hotel I deal with the beverage section and absolutely love every minute. There’s such a feel-good factor and I get a buzz out of suggesting wines when guests and diners ask me for advice. It beats reading off the wine list and most people are well impressed.

I’m also doing the HND Hospitality at Glasgow Met and it was through the Alcohol Beverage unit that I decided to apply for the part time course.

I’m so glad I did but my decision was made easier by the ILA funding I received. It’s so simple to apply for and I received £200 towards the course so only had £60 to pay.

If I achieve the HND next year I’m hoping to do a bit of travelling. In fact I’d love to work in Cairo, Egypt, if things go to plan.
