Jordan has been in the service as a Police Constable for five years now.

Jordan chose to study at New College Durham because of the wide range of practical courses we offered.

He said:

“I progressed from Level 3 to the Foundation Degree and loved the course and the lecturers all in all. I received fantastic support throughout my time studying.

“The College had a great atmosphere and I had access to high quality resources and the teaching was excellent. The structure of the course was clear and enabled easy progression of knowledge. My experience was inspiring - I developed a lot of transferable skills and I truly miss it! I know I will take the skills I learnt at college and apply them to my current role and intend to progress my career to hopefully join the CID.”

We recently caught up with Jordan, he said: Jordan Coulthard 2023

"Five years on and I am still grateful for New College Durham helping me to develop my confidence and resilience as they have been vital in my day-to-day experiences. The course allowed me to gain an insight into the industry from guest speakers and from trips. Studying at NCD provided me with the opportunity to develop key transferable skills required to get into the service.

"I use the skills and knowledge I developed at NCD in my current role. The course prepared me for further training that I have been required to complete as part of my job. I would highly recommend this course to others as a starting point as it will ensure you are in a position to progress into uniformed services."
