This isn’t just about getting a qualification—it’s about gaining the skills and confidence to be an effective trainer, mentor, or teacher. 

It’s been a joy to attend the course, I’ve enjoyed all aspects and feel it’s helped me with confidence regarding presentations. Our tutor has been fantastic and really helped all of us to engage in the lessons.” 

It’s given me lots of confidence speaking in a room with ESOL participants within my job role. I’ve planned and delivered Confidence Building and Employability sessions for 5 hours, 1 hour each session, in a Training environment. It’s definitely equipped me with strategies to adapt to all learners. I’ve built up my own resilience to using technology and presenting.
