“Adult Education Wolverhampton courses offer many ways for adult learners to gain the essential skills required to either get a job or change career.
“Whatever your situation, the open day will give you the chance to speak to friendly and knowledgeable staff who can guide you onto a programme of study which is at the right level and suits your needs, interests and ambitions – so please come along and find out more.”
Former student Davide D’Angelo took an English for Speakers of Other Languages course at Adult Education Wolverhampton and is now living his dream.
He said: "When I first came to the UK, I spoke no English. I started work as a waiter in a local Italian restaurant and struggled to communicate even the basics.
"My vocabulary was very limited, to survive I had prompt cards which I kept in my pocket to remind me of things to say… it was a really difficult start!"
Today it's a different story. After improving his language and communication skills, he helped set up Siculo, a new Italian restaurant in Codsall where he runs front of house.
