Thanks to qualifications I earned through Lifelong Learning, I was able to get a better job. I am now studying Maths, as it is something that impacts everyday life in many ways. It’s also allowing me to help and encourage my son, who is just starting to learn the subject at school. My daughter is now at University and I believe that my interest in education inspired her to pursue her dreams. The Lifelong Learning courses give adults the chance to keep learning and to further our careers.

After I retired, I wanted to learn something new that would keep me active, and I decided on sewing skills. I have already completed courses in curtain making and soft furnishings, as well as in Italian, Spanish, Cookery and ECDL. These courses allow me to be creative and relaxed. I feel very satisfied when finishing a project because this boosts confidence in my capabilities. I would encourage anyone to give these useful courses a try.

I was able to start my career as a Learning Support Educator because of the Lifelong Learning courses that I followed. It’s a challenge to balance studying and family commitments, but the adult educators have always been so encouraging and supportive. Apart from giving me the qualifications I need, these courses are opening doors to new opportunities and ways to improve my standard of living. It’s never too late to learn and I will be attending more courses in the future, though these will probably be related to my hobbies rather than academic subjects!
