I had to perform various tasks that are associated with the building industry including operating heavy machinery and operating equipment like drills from a ladder. This has provided me with valuable skills that will I find of use in future years.

Achievements and Skills I have achieved my lifeguard qualifications, which involved an intense ten-week course and two tests. I have both my Award of Merit and my Bronze Medallion awards.
