Kelly’s story

I started learning when I moved to a place I could get help with my learning. I came because the Employability Support Team suggested it but I keep coming because I’m getting the learning I should have got as a child.

I couldn’t manage school then. It was too much for me to take in at that age. I feel more confident now and the main thing that has helped is having one-to-one sessions. It’s more relaxed and not so regimented and I also need not to be too distracted by other people or noise when I’m learning. I feel like the support I get from CLD is really good.

I have achieved a lot. I now have certificates in ICT and Communication and I’m working on Numeracy. I also got a Wider Achievement Award. I’m more confident doing things on my computer, like applying for jobs online or filling in forms on my own. I also feel like I can help my school-age child more.
