I am sorry but it’s my first day here as a student and I don’t really know where that classroom is. But, say that again. What classroom are you looking for?

I am looking for 204.

Oh! That’s also the classroom I was trying to find. Are you going to study a course on electronics?

Exactly!

So, I think we will be classmates! I’m James, nice to meet you.

I’m Mary, nice to meet you too.

I couldn’t find the classroom either, so I have already asked someone about the classroom, and they have told me that it is on the second floor. This school is huge, isn’t it?

Yes, you can easily get lost. So, do you know where the classroom is? Shall we go then?

Yes, I think it is that way. Let’s go!

Is it your first time studying a vocational training course?

First time. I have recently finished my studies at high school and although I got really high marks, I didn’t want to go to university.

Really? Why?

I couldn’t stand studying a Degree for four years. That’s too long. I have many plans for my near future.

That’s right, this vocational training course lasts for just two years and it seems that people quickly land a job.

Yes, that’s the main reason why I decided that studying a vocational training course is the best option nowadays. It’s easy to access employment. And you? Why are you here?

Well, to cut a long story short, I entered University and studied the first three years of a Degree in Telecommunication Technologies Engineering because I love everything to do with telecommunications, but I was quite let down after realising that there wasn’t too much hands-on work but a lot of theory.

Yeah, I have a friend of mine who is studying that Degree and he also says it’s quite theoretical. But how did you come up with the idea of making such a big change?

Well, a friend of mine, who is a teacher, recommended this course to me so I started searching for information on the internet and I found many good comments about it given by ex-students so after much thought, here I am!

Well, time will tell if you have made a good decision.

Yes, we will see but, so far, I think I did.

Oh Look! That’s our classroom.
