          Karen
          Not only has it helped me, but I can now show my
          daughter how to do spreadsheets and formulas.

          Paul
          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.

          Lauren
          I have gained a huge amount of confidence in
          myself and I 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”.

           Rohan
           I bought a computer and knew nothing. Now I’m
           confident using it I want to continue learning more
           and more.

            Malgorzata
            Learning new skills has boosted my self-
            confidence. I am now a registered Immigration
            Advisor for the Settlement Scheme working with a
            local employer.
