Learners
What They Thought
“I honestly cannot praise my assessor enough. They have changed my opinion on learning and I feel like I can achieve anything. Before transferring to my assessor I hated doing this and was doing it because my job depended on it. Now even before I have completed it I am thinking about continuing on to something else. City in Guilds needs more assessors like who I had and I am sure you would have less people dropping out of the program. I hope this feedback reaches the correct person within City in Guilds.”
