Career and progression routes
My tutor was respectful and very helpful. I have seen myself grow in my commitment compared to before the course.
Following this course, you could be ready to join other professional development courses at Manchester Adult Education, such as the Level 2 Certificate in Safeguarding, Prevent and British Values or the Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Behaviour that Challenges.
