A great stepping stone

I really appreciate your positive input and support during and after my Level 3 Diploma in Social Care. You and your colleagues really do go above and beyond in your job, not everybody does. You have laid a foundation for my future achievement. I would strongly encourage anyone out there who is considering developing themselves career wise to use your learning institution as a stepping stone just as I have done and they will also definitely make it. It is a challenge worth taking.

They encouraged me when I felt like giving up

I went to Riees when I decided I wanted to change my career. I was a bit apprehensive at first, as I was going to be an older student, my brain wasn’t how it used to be. Ade and the teaching staff at Riees helped me to gain confidence, believe in myself and the patience to help me to pass my level 3. They encouraged me when I felt like giving up. Then a few months later I done it I passed. I thought thank God it’s over, then Ade suggested level 5. I thought no way I can’t do that. With the support and help from Riees I passed that too.

I felt supported and able to work at my pace

I found the children and young people’s workforce training I received at RIESS and the tutor support throughout really enabled me to compliment the placement I had at a local nursery at the time. I started the course to better understand my own children’s development and came away with so much more than that. I was challenged and a tad afraid by the maths elements of the NVQ as I had not done anything of the sort since I was at school, but persevered and passed. Thank you all!
