“I have learned lots to be honest, mainly writing CV’s as I wasn’t that confident in doing them before. On a scale of 1-10, I would have scored myself 4 in confidence, but now I would score myself around a 7 since doing the course. I have found the whole course enjoyable and feel that the teamwork especially will help me in future.”

“I feel, as a tutor, that Steps is a huge benefit to students who are not quite ready to commit to a full-time course. Steps will help build confidence and resilience as well as provide essential skills for your future.”
