What our learners say...
"The staff supported me by asking me how they can help me work towards my goal and adjusting my plan to reflect that. They have been able to solve my short-term problems and work towards solving my long-term ones, it is because of this, I feel more confident."
"The training I have received has made me become more interactive and I have met good people who have helped me feel more comfortable."
“Staff are friendly and welcoming and cater to your needs.”
"When I first joined, I was a ball of anger. I hated education and the world. The staff at the centre took time to listen and get to know me and would allow me to have time to myself to think. Over time I gradually started to manage my anger and felt comfortable."
"If you struggle with school or college, consider coming to TCHC because they will support you with any problems that you may have, and they will help you to develop your skills so that you grow in confidence and are ready for work and life."
