Learner feedback

"At the start of the course I had very little confidence in myself. I can't thank the tutors and office staff enough for the support and time they have gave me. I now have more confidence and believe if I put my mind and time into something, it's achievable."

"It has boosted my self-esteem and confidence so much, the support has been great. I would recommend ACL because the courses are flexible to your needs and most are free."
