"The technology is amazing here."

It’s never too late to broaden your skillset – Lancashire and Cumbria Institute of Technology (IoT) is open to anyone, at any stage of their career.

Dean Coles was looking for a career change from the retail and office work he’d been doing when he signed up to the IoT’s Software Engineering Level 4 course.

The 36-year-old said: “The technology is amazing here and will really help me with my goal of going into programming.

“I’ve also found the availability of tutors is fantastic, they’re always here to talk to and you can ask them anything. I’d definitely recommend studying at the IoT.”
