My Level 2 certificate has helped me gain employment in a secondary school and make a career change as a result.

I can manage my self-employed business and do the booking work independently as a result of skill gained from Adult Education.

Yoga has been a longstanding hobby for me, but qualifying as a teacher and establishing my own small group practice - takes it to the next level

I only got a job thanks to the skills and knowledge gained from doing the courses

I can be lacking in confidence so the courses have helped me to approach my work in a more positive manner

The course helped me to have better commination skills at work

I signed up to be a volunteer at the local school which hopefully can help me get into paid employment thanks to doing my level 2 support in  teaching

As a result, I have started working on a voluntary basis, interpreting English to centre users and also as maths teaching assistant at Coventry College

I'm looking forward for seeking employment because I have gained knowledge and experience, I'm more confident.
