Jamie Atkins

I’m Jamie Atkins and I’m 20 years old and come from Manchester.

I came to the Northern Racing College as a beginner. I found the first few days quite hard but once I settled in and got to know the other students better and learned how to work on the yard the course got a lot more exciting.

I feel that I have come a long way on the course because of the teaching by the instructors.

I get on really well with the other students on the course and I have such a laugh with them and I love it here.

I’m Megan Ross and I’m 20 years old and come from Cambridge.

I found the Northern Racing College website through a link on another website and followed it as I wanted to have a career in racing.

My first week was exciting as you get to meet loads of new people and do new things. I’ve almost finished my course now and still find it exciting.

I’ve worked with great people here and when I leave I will look forward to seeing them again in the future.
