"The hardest part of starting the course is having the confidence to want to do it." ⬇️

"Because there's all those stigmas of 'you're too old' or 'you're not clever enough'. Who cares? At the end of the day, you're doing it for you and for your family."

"If you've got the desire to want to learn and better yourself, then have the confidence to bite the bullet and go for it. I'm not going to say it's easy, it's not. But if you work at it, you can work through it ultimately."

- Richard, Functional Skills English and maths learner
