Learner Comments
"The course was really good, and the tutor provided great support. I think the Fast Track is brilliant, and it enables you to complete a lot quicker. I’m currently an Ambulance Care Assistant and this course will help me progress in my career to being a Paramedic."
"It’s really surprised me, as I was nervous to do it but now I feel very confident. Never think you can’t come back into Education. It’s there for everyone."
"I love working with children. I started my career in school as a Polish Learning Mentor and after a few months I decided to do a Teaching Assistant course with AECL. Now, I can say that it was the best choice in my life! My tutors were always very helpful, and we could contact each other by phone calls, emails or Google Classroom chat. The main benefit of the course is that I have got a job as a Teaching Assistant in a school! I could not have got this job without attending this course, so I would highly recommend the TA course!"
"I’ve done the English Level 1 course and I have found it brilliant. It’s been hard work but you have to work hard to achieve. My partner wrote a letter and I could tell her where she had made mistakes and edit it with her. I’ve now got a job at Go Outdoors. It’s nice to engage with the public and people asking questions."
"I have gained a huge amount of confidence in myself and now believe I can do something if I set my mind to it. I know it’s ok to say, “I’m proud of me”. During my voluntary placement I was offered a teaching assistant position. I have gained confidence and self belief as well as a rewarding career after my course at North Lincolnshire Adult Education and Community Learning."
"Learning new skills has boosted my self-confidence and self-esteem. It helped me to set targets and successfully achieve them. I also now have a positive feeling of achievement. Interacting with other students helped me build and strengthen my social relationships. I am now a registered Immigration Advisor for the Settlement Scheme working with a local employer."
"As my children were getting older, I felt that I wanted to do something to educate myself. Gaining these skills has made me feel I can have a career rather than just a job. Not only has it helped me, but I can now show my daughter how to do spreadsheets and formulas. I can also help her with her homework. Now I have these digital skills I can also do my husband’s accounts on a spreadsheet."
"The courses I have done have given me the confidence to join other classes such as the walking group at the Arc. They have also led to me living a more healthy lifestyle. I now have the confidence to apply for jobs."
"Since doing these courses I am more confident in myself and feel I can progress in my career and provide for my children."
