facilities Our STEM and construction facilities that we offer our students are amongst the best in the UK. At our Ayr Campus we have a purpose built, state of the art Aeronautical Engineering Training Centre. Our Aeronautical Engineering Training Centre is a CAA Part 66 examination centre and is the first composites laboratory in Scotland to be approved by the National Skills Academy. We opened our Kilmarnock Campus at Hill Street in October 2016, with high specification equipment and machinery throughout the £53m building. We offer courses at our Kilwinning Campus and our satellite campus at Nethermains - for Bricklaying, Joinery and Painting and Decorating students to work on major projects. Engineering facilities include a CNC machine room and CAD laboratory. There are dedicated workrooms for Bricklaying, Joinery, Painting and Decorating and Welding, as well as a Motor Vehicle garage equipped with the latest industry technology. Foundation Apprenticeships We offer Foundation Apprenticeships in Engineering and ICT (Software Development), with Civil Engineering and ICT (Hardware) being introduced next year. School pupils study a Foundation Apprenticeship in S5 and S6 as one of their subject choices.
