SUPPORTING ADULT LEARNERS
I know what it’s like to feel that you’re not good enough for jobs because of education, now I believe in myself, what I have gained is an abundance, confidence wise.
Barry Christy
The level of support and range of programmes was just what I needed.
Rowena Watters
I have gained great qualifications but also important life skills such as sticking to deadlines, broadening my mind and way of thinking, meeting other people and developing friendships.
John Connell
Learning English has given me the confidence to talk in front of people without feeling sorry of myself. I can also make my own appointments in English, I have made friends and enjoy our conversations.
Imani Tutu
For many adult learners, we did not have the chance to take the conventional route through education. We took the long and winding road or “scenic route” back to education. But I am proof that it can be done!
