Access to HE Diploma (Social Sciences) - Level 3

I went to the Adult Learning Centre and spoke to a nice lady who recommended that I went to an open day, and I went on to spoke to the tutors who run the access courses who pointed me in the right direction, and I got on the right course.

I was a bit nervous at times because some of the other learners are old enough to be my kids, but there was a couple at my age as well.
