Course: National Test Literacy at Argos learndirect
Why did you want to study the subject you’re doing?
I’d known for a long time that I wanted to do this, so when the opportunity came up at work to use the Burton College learndirect Centre based at Argos it was ideal.
What’s the best thing about Burton College?
It’s all good, there is no down side.
What advice would you give someone thinking of coming to College?
Do it, this is the best thing I have ever done.
What’s next for you now you have completed the course?
This course has really switched me on to learning, I can’t get enough of it. I’m going to do numeracy and computers next, in fact anything that comes available I want to study.
