Aled Beech
Studied – Level 3 Agricultural Engineering
Currently – Studying Engineering at Harper Adams University
“The Agricultural Engineering course was a stepping stone to getting to my degree, it’s amazing how much I learnt at Llysfasi, the amount of times I’ve gone to tackle a problem and heard the tutors Glyn, Gareth or Simon’s voice in my head reminding me of something I learnt and getting me out of trouble! So much practical and technical knowledge I learnt placed me onto a higher level for working in the Agricultural Engineering industry.
“I feel that I have an advantage over other students on my course because at Llysfasi I had the hands on experience and better technical understanding of things, it also gave me more respect from people in the industry as I can look at something and tell them “that works like that and this will fix it”.
