StudentView
| Name: Lynn Jones |
| Courses: Intermediate Office Skills,
Level 1 and 2 |
| Interesting Fact: I left school at 14
with no qualifications and returned to education aged
50 |
I left school at 14 with no
qualifications at all and worked in catering, sewing, bar work and
loads of other jobs. Back in 1991 I was diagnosed with Raynards
Syndrome, which limits the things I can do.
But last year, when I turned 50, I decided to
get back into education and learn something new. I went to the
College to get some skills in administration and haven’t looked
back since. I’ve just passed my Office Skills qualifications and am
looking for work as a receptionist.
Education has changed a lot since I was last
at school – I didn’t even know how to work a mouse or even turn on
a computer but now I’ve bought myself a laptop and might even
connect to the Internet. I would recommend the College to anyone
wanting to improve their skills.
