Answer: Adult and Community Learning is for adults and you can expect to be treated as one. Providers know that if you are learning you are doing it because you want to. Returning to learning now can be a lot more fun then when you were at school. You can try new subjects and hobbies that were never available to you in previous years and realise new ambitions you have since developed. If you did not get any qualifications at school it does not mean you cannot take part in further learning or even go to university. Colleges now offer Access courses that are designed for people without the necessary qualifications to study foundation courses to prepare them for the demands of a higher level of learning. A lot of these courses are free of charge. Learning need not be difficult or a chore. Anyhow, you may well be a lot better at it than you imagine! - Related Link
