Testimonials

Melissa Lang

"I do two evening courses every week which are maths and English, both Functional Skills. I have thoroughly enjoyed returning to education at the age of 32. I have made new friends that I maybe never would have met and I am really enjoying learning new skills and refreshing my memory 16 years after leaving school. I would highly recommend returning to education as an adult, whether it’s to gain a qualification or even simply to learn some new skills"
