TEN students proudly accepted awards for their academic achievements at the NAFC Marine Centre’s 22nd annual prize giving, on Friday.
Giving the opening address, college director David Gray said: “The centre is here to support the community, industry and economy and we do this through providing a very high standard of training, education and research.
“We pride ourselves in delivering excellence – and so we are delighted to be here again celebrating the achievements of yet another group of outstanding students.
“Credit for this success must be given to both the students and staff – past and present – who deliver excellent results year upon year.”
The ten awards were presented by former Northern Lighthouse Board chairman, Captain George Sutherland.
He said: “The NAFC is a centre of excellence and has established an international reputation within the industry as a first class training provider, with the students being highly sought after.
“I do hope that the centre can continue to produce the high quality work that it is so well known for.”
