Some learners' experiences:
Sarah left school when she was 14 to have a baby. She thought that her learning
life was over and developed mild depression and anxiety. After returning to learn, Sarah now has
Level 1 and Level 2 Numeracy and has nearly completely her GCSE in Maths. She has also gained some ICT
qualifications on the way and is looking forward to the Access course at her local FE College. Soon
this will lead Sarah to a University place.
Another one of our learners is John – a care worker who has an ambition to be a
nurse. John enrolled for English GCSE and a maths course leading to the National Certificate in Adult
Numeracy at Level 2. It has not been easy juggling his studies along with a young family but now John
has just been offered a place on the nursing course at the university. John told us – “I wish I had
done this, years ago. I can’t wait to be a fully qualified nurse.”
Learners have said;
- “Was this a course? I had so much fun I didn’t realise I was learning.”
- “I now have the learning bug”
- “I am thrilled to have achieved the Level 2 in Adult Literacy and Adult Numeracy.”
- “I wished I had done this years ago.”
- “I can now help my son with his homework”
