A Levels and Retraining



Today is A Level results day here in the UK.  Time to see if all the months of hard work paid off or maybe if winging it actually worked.  It's now twenty one years since I opened that dreaded yet longed for brown envelope, to the relief that I had done enough to head off to Birmingham Uni. For some, today will provide the opportunity to take the next step in their retraining journey.  Perhaps you have had to take A levels whilst juggling home and family so that you can take a degree to start a new career. Or maybe today with all the talk of A levels has got you  thinking about taking a degree, retraining, starting a new journey.  Many universities still have places left in clearing, so maybe you could take that leap, now, today.  Make that call that you've been wondering about for ages.  Maybe you want to take that first step on to the degree ladder and are needing A levels, so look at your options, now, today.  There are many options from online courses, local colleges offering evening classes or Open University modules.

So take a deep breath and make that first step to your new career.

Until next time, take care.

It's Never Too Late To Start Again


One of the biggest fears for mature students is being too old.  Just imagine turning up to that first day of induction week and being the only person over thirty in the room.  Well erase that thought right now.  Just about every course in the country has a good mix of students, old, young and every age inbetween.  I worried about being too old to be a student again, but that fear was quenched on my very first day.

So stop using your age as an excuse.  It really is never too late to start again.

Until next time, take care.
