From stay-at-home mum to soon-to-be teacher.
Mindy, 37, revitalised her life after spending years as a stay-at-home mum. After losing her confidence, she plucked up the courage to study A-level Maths and now she’s training to become a secondary school Maths teacher.
“I lost my confidence, but if you don’t give up, you’ll get there. You’re not alone. Even after I finished my course, I swapped emails with my tutor, and she carried on supporting me.”
Not 1, not 2… but 4 online animal courses!
Donna signed up to study our online Level 3 Diploma in Canine Care, Behaviour and Welfare. She got hooked and then signed up for the next three courses in that series.
“It's just a brilliant course if you've got a dog. I highly recommend it because you're going to learn so much more and you're going to be able to help them so much more.”
“I was just overwhelmed with happiness, and I was so proud of myself that I’d actually achieved something that others told me I never would, and it’s the first time in a long time that I’m excited for the future.”

Acing GCSE Maths at age 46!
46-year-old Paul achieved a grade 7 in GCSE Maths after deciding to get back into education in later life. He's now setting his sights on A-Level Maths with learndirect.
“It was a concern I had to start with. I’m a bit too old to be going back to this. [My tutor] said ‘It’s not like that… There are more older people doing it than you would possibly imagine.”
From unemployed to landing her dream job!
Deciding to take control and pursue the career she’s always wanted, Chloe enrolled on our online Level 3 Certificate in Understanding Mental Health and went on to land her dream job as a care and support worker.
“Understanding mental health better has helped me not only with my career but with understanding myself and my friends better and why people react and behave the way they do.”
