Melody Mutudza, who went on to complete a degree and masters in social work at university after taking the Access to Higher Education Diploma with Adult Education Wolverhampton, said: "I was unable to go to university because I had been out of education for a while and needed a refresher.
"I felt comfortable being with students of the same age with similar experiences. There was a lot of support and the atmosphere was accommodating to any person of any background."
Councillor John Reynolds, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for City Economy, said: "Whether it is to pursue a particular ambition, get into university or change career, there are many reasons to consider one of the Level 3, 4 and 5 courses offered by Adult Education Wolverhampton."
