People return to learning in order to improve their reading, writing and maths skills.
There are people who want to catch up on the skills they missed at school, parents who want
to help children with their homework, workers who would like to go for promotion but don’t
have the confidence to sit an exam and there are those who would simply like to write a letter
or send an email.
Whatever their motivation is, the benefits are the same. Not only do people improve
their old skills but they also gain the confidence to go on to learn new ones. Although it
requires some hard work, it’s a great experience that opens up a whole new world of
opportunities in a friendly and relaxed environment. And it’s not like going back to school.
Everyone learns at their own pace and there aren’t any exams at the end.
