5. Get on a Course and Get Ahead!
The course was an excellent
opportunity to meet new people and
share my ideas about how to find work
successfully.
I also feel I’ve made good progress in
finding work, because of this course.
To the dearest teacher,
It was so good to be in the class
and I was happy to take part in the group.
I would do it again and I would like to thank
you kindly for having me. Keep up the good
work! The sessions are 10 out of 10.
The assistance was also very good
I think Pathway is a good
organisation. The information was
broken down to an great,
understandable level and overall I found
the course very helpful.
I will ask my colleagues to contact
Pathways if they also want to do an NVQ.
I am very happy with my NVQ Level 2
that I completed with Pathways. The
support I received on the learning
programme was really good.
Thank you.
