“I joined an Idea Store Learning course so I can speak fluently and confidently and help me to find work. I can speak without hesitation and am not as worried about making mistakes. I have lots more grammar knowledge now and I can express myself better.
My teacher worked very hard to help and support me. I would like to continue onto Functional Skills and in the future, I would really like to go to university and study for a degree. The Idea Store gave me lots of information too. I have learnt so much at the Idea Store.”
