I came from Eritrea a couple of years ago with a goal of improving my English, both speaking and written, and gaining new skills I can use for work. I am in my second year at the College and I’m currently on the ESOL+ programme, which allows me to spend time studying Accounting too.
I have really enjoyed my time here at Cardiff and Vale College, I have made a lot of friends from lots of different backgrounds. The teachers have really been helpful throughout my time here, and the Skills Centre in particular, has been very beneficial to me. My English has improved so much, I’m very pleased with the progress I have made. In the future I’m looking forward to finishing my course then finding employment here in the UK.
