Ready Set Study (SA1STUDY24)
This short course is aimed at learners who wish to boost their confidence to undertake study and develop further skills in literacy and numeracy to support further learning.
"Many students who attend the General Education for Adults course begin with low self-esteem and little confidence in their academic abilities and social skills. It is so rewarding to witness their confidence and self-worth improve as their skills develop, and how this new found courage then empowers them to take the next steps in their life’s adventure."
