Diplomat’s son Aisea, 23, has always been a bit of an electronics enthusiast – as a child he collected old radios and TVs and took them apart to see how they worked.
He says: “I am in the first year of a two-year BTEC/HND in Electrical & Electronic Engineering. I miss the sunshine and my relatives back home, but I like the history of this country and the sightseeing.
"I am interested in communications equipment and hope to go to university. I would recommend this College because you get a lot of support and the academic side is really good."
