Thinking of returning to education? Then meet Kelly Morris!👋
Kelly had always dreamed of being a midwife, so when it came to securing the qualifications she needed to help her achieve it, she chose Adult Learning at Burnley College.
She’d left high school without a GCSE in English, which is essential for most careers in a medical role. Despite feeling nervous about returning to learning, Kelly absolutely triumphed in her course achieving a Level 8 grade, equivalent to an A*.
Kelly says her Tutors were hugely influential in her achievements, saying they were ‘ace’ and incredibly helpful.
