Studentcase studyNaveed KhanMotor Vehicle


The sky’s the limit!I started at Keighley College and now I run my own business, Enkahnz Body Repair, where I’ve worked with a number of famous and high profile clients.

I joined Keighley College in 1997 and enrolled on a light vehicle mechanical course before progressing to a Level 3 vehicle body repair course. During this time, I gained the Apprentice of the Year award as well as the National Adult Learners Award.

Following employment at Nationwide, I founded my own small business, starting with a unit and eventually expanding to the present day million-pound complex. I specialise in vehicle body customisation and although my business covers other areas, I enjoy the hands-on approach and I’m often in my workshop using the skills I learnt at Keighley College.

I’ve stayed in touch with my old tutor John Thornham and I still support Keighley College. I often return to college to give speeches to current students with practical tips and advice. It’s nice that John considers me a role model for his current students.

Studentcase studyShirley EllershawHealth & Social Care

My experience of higher education at Keighley College has been amazing!I started my learning journey at Keighley College with an Access to HE course. Following a discussion with the Head of Service Professions, I was inspired to enrol on the Health and Wellbeing Foundation Degree.

My experience of higher education has been amazing. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed studying the concepts of health as well as the legal aspects of healthcare. I was privileged to be involved in the planning of the University Centre at Keighley College and it was exciting to be able to create my own study space.

I’m now in the final weeks of my foundation degree and I’ve loved every minute; the support at Keighley College has been exceptional. My foundation degree has really shown me how many exciting career paths are available, I’m now working as a teaching facilitator at the college within the service professions team and plan on continuing studying for a health and social care degree.
