What lovely feedback from Michael - "Thank you so much for bringing your learners, they truly are an asset to you. There behaviour and manners were impeccable and it was so refreshing to have a college where every single student was engaged and wanting to take part. Whatever you're doing ...at Craven College is inspiring!" - Michael Lawson, Training, Project and Outreach Manager at SkyPeople Training
Last week, our students enjoyed an incredible day out at Skypeople, where they were fully immersed in the roles and responsibilities of Cabin Crew. From operating aircraft doors and performing an emergency evacuation. A fantastic day of enrichment, delivered by the wonderful trainers at Skypeople, and enjoyed by all!
