What to do after my GCSEs?
Hello, my name is Kynan and I’m from Hounslow West, I'm currently a student at Heston Community School.Growing up, I was always passionate about cars, motorbikes, and anything with an engine! I've always wanted to start my own car customisation company, which I would call Kynx Kustoms, to create eye-catching designs for unique vehicles. I want to make my dream a reality and give every 4-wheeler and 2-wheeler an identity of its own and a new lease of life.
When I considered my future goals, I began to think about the knowledge and credentials I would need to make this idea a reality. I started by researching motor vehicle courses online, and West Thames College came up. I simply knew that I had to attend an open day to figure out whether this college could be the best place for me to further my growth and skills set.

My first visit to West Thames
I was extremely excited to visit West Thames College at an open day in February.
From the time I entered until the time I left, I had a great experience at the College. The staff were very supportive and went the extra mile which gave me a good understanding of what will await me in the future.
My parents and I discussed the Mechanical Engineering and Motor Vehicle Maintenance courses with two of the subject's teachers who told us all about how these courses are taught. We were also even given a walk-through of the workshops by students and shown what the practical aspect of these courses involve too. This tour inspired me and I now would like to also become a student guide to help others who may wish to join West Thames College.
I am super excited to start my career path with the College under the guidance of the excellent faculty I met at the open day. As I take the road ahead to create my future, I am grateful for the support and guidance given to me at the start of my journey by the College.
