My college

Choosing a career isn’t easy for everyone. As for me I made my final choice and I entered to Ulyanovsk Teachers’ Training College of Physical Culture of Olympic reserve. I am fond of sports and I understood that I would like to be in the profession connecting with my hobby. I want to enjoy my work and get satisfaction from it. For me an interesting and creative job is the most important thing. My dream has come true. And now I'm studying here.  

Our college gives secondary-professional education. It was founded in 1967. At first it was named Ulyanovsk Teachers’ Training College № 3.  It was situated in the center of the city. Now it is on 50-years VLKSM Street, 25. It is one of the most popular colleges in the region. It has trained more than 4000 highly qualified specialists of physical culture and sport.

It occupies a four-storeyed building. On the ground floor there is a gym, a canteen, a cloak room. On the second and third floor there are different well- equipped classrooms. Classrooms in our college are bright and comfortable. There are computer rooms where students learn to use the Internet, create their first computer programs and projects in different subjects in our college. There is also an excellent library, which contains a variety of dictionaries, professional literature and books of classical and modern writers.

There is a day time and part-time departments at our college. The complete course of study lasts four years. About three hundreds of students study at our college. We study the humanity subjects and practice sport disciplines.  Students of our college successfully carry out their professional activities. It’s a wonderful college for sportsmen. Today sport is more and more popular among people of our country. I think that nowadays this profession is of great need and importance.

We can practice different kinds of sports there: track-and-field, swimming, football, volleyball and much more. There's a lot of new professional equipment on which we will practice our skills. The college gives students plenty of opportunities to develop themselves: besides getting professional knowledge we can participate in extracurricular activities, to attend different clubs.

Our college has its own traditions. Students take part in competitions of different levels which take place at college and in the city. Our students are very hardworking. They achieve good results.

Studying in our college is both hard work and real pleasure. I’m very proud to be a student of this college. I really like to study here. In future I want to become a good coach.
