What do people say about us?
With the support and encouragement from my teacher I have passed and completed my Level 2 qualification and have started the Level 3. My teacher has taught me to believe in myself which makes me very grateful. I have made new friends and learnt that if I put my mind to it I can conquer my fears.
Adult Education offers a fantastic service, be that face-to-face or online. I have no hesitation in giving them a five star rating. AEW has given me the skills to progress and I am very grateful.
I can’t begin to tell you the change that learning has made to my life. I discovered my strengths and my weaknesses and set about making the changes that I needed to improve my chances of finding a new career.
I have had the best support imaginable from AEW. They supported me with a number of different things including financial support, course information and careers advice. I couldn't fault them. I had no confidence when I started but I am different now.
I wanted to set a firm foundation for my learning of BSL so going from Level 1 to Level 3 seemed a natural progression for me and I can say with confidence that Wolverhampton Adult Education has fully supported and nurtured me to successfully achieve a life goal.
Nothing is ever too much for my teacher, she is patient and always happy to explain again until I understand and grasp each topic. I am excited about learning and want to progress as far as I can with the subject. My aim is to complete a business course and eventually become self-employed working with computers.
