I have been pushed out of my comfort zone, built up my confidence and met lots of new people from different ages and backgrounds.

Graduating with a Certificate in Education is something I never thought I would achieve so I’m thrilled to have done it.

I really enjoyed the flexibility of the course which allowed me to work alongside my studies. I was 20 years older than those on the course, but we all had a great connection and could share our experiences with each other.

Throughout my course, my tutors have been brilliant with their advice and have taken the time to speak to me and encourage me.

When I left school, I never thought I would be graduating with a degree, so I feel incredibly proud of myself.

I recommend joining the Student Union as it’s a great way to meet people and it lets your voice be heard.
