NRC course Co-ordinator for the Prince’s Trust programme, Gerry Drake said that “This is an excellent programme for young people to consider, if they are not currently in full-time employment, training or education. The course is free to the student and it does not affect a young person’s benefits. We ensure that the programme is delivered in a fun and interactive way, while challenging at the same time”.
