“At 53, I decided it was time to get my GCSEs. I didn’t take them when I was at school, but since returning to education I’ve found Maths much easier and have gained the confidence to know I can do it.
“The support from my lecturer and the College has made such a difference, and being surrounded by others on the same journey has been a really positive experience. My advice to anyone thinking about coming back into education is to do it, it’s definitely worth it.”
