What Our Students Say
“It’s been an eye opener. My confidence is better than it was before. I’ve found working with others fine. I didn’t think I would speak about myself in front of the class, but because everyone did it, I felt I could. I can see how the skills I use will be needed in work.”
“I enjoyed all the tasks. I felt good working with the group. I feel more confident. I found talking in a group challenging before but I have been talking a lot more now.”
“I wanted to join, I wasn’t asked. I joined and I like it. I’m working on my confidence. Others stop me speaking out in other classes, it’s better in here. I didn’t think I could do the webmaster task, but I did. I’m more motivated than before.”
“I was really bad with my communication, autism diagnosis, not confident and didn’t like big groups. I wanted to see if the class would help me and build my confidence. I feel better now. I feel I can now work in bigger groups. My confidence has grown in my part-time job as a waitress also. I have spoken to more people and got along with them”
“I feel better! It was challenging at first but it’s got easier. I feel more confident speaking to new people now. I don’t really speak in other classes.”
