STUDENTS and internet fans can now log on at the newest branch of Wiltshire College.

The Westbury IT centre officially opened on Friday, unveiling 16 computers, two classrooms and a range of courses and lessons.

Over 35 retailers, councillors and staff were at the opening ceremony, including manager Janet Kersley.

She said: "Right from the start I thought this location in the High Street was excellent.

"We have been open since November 3 and I had no idea we would be so overwhelmed with inquiries and bookings in just one week.

"It's really encouraging and great news for Westbury residents."

The newly refurbished centre offers various computing and IT courses and more subjects are planned for the new year.

Part-time student Albert Boadi, 25, of Westbury, said: "It's great for people like me because I have a full time job and then just walk across the road to study in the evening."

Renovations at the college began in the summer and it is now one of 10 centres in towns across north and west Wiltshire.
