It was great to welcome former student Marie Nicol back to Dumfries and Galloway College this week for a Q&A with our HND Fitness, Health and Exercise students.

Marie shared her journey from College to running her own well-established gym, QFitness, and personal training business. Our students enjoyed hearing about her experience and had the chance to ask questions about building a career in the fitness industry.
