What do our students say?
“I started HRC with a low self-esteem and uncertainty about my future. Then, at college doing a Childcare course, I began to find some confidence, started building positive relationships with people and I gained some valuable work experience which I can now put on my CV. I was supported at college and had the opportunity to learn about subjects that interested me”
“I found this course so helpful in getting a head start. I wasn’t very confident in my skills before I started, but the tutors have been so supportive and now I’m ready to take on an Apprenticeship”
