was invited to give a presentation at HMP Wormwood Scrubs
in London, during the National Adult Leaner Week. From this,
we signed up 10 new students, several of whom have completed
their courses and have gone on to further courses. Here
is a success from one of these students.
"I have really gained a lot in completing
this course. It has really opened my thoughts in knowing
and understanding life itself and best ways to live it happy.
More importantly, I am now able to face any situation I
might find myself positively and patiently. And also it
has taught me how I could relate with others successfully.
It has also taught me taking the right path and decisions
in life." P.E., HMP Wormwood Scrubs

They give training to ex-offenders and had heard about us
from one of their clients who had been a Criminon student
whilst he was in prison. They are very interested in using
our Open College Network Accredited Learning Skills Course
to aid their clients in their future learning.
