Like Cyril, I have been teaching this subject for many years and I know it is a life changing course and I’d like to share what my students have told me. John, a bodybuilder with a good brain and no qualifications from one of Katherine’s most notorious ‘hard’ families was working as a security guard at a mine site. We got talking one day and he broached the subject of whether I thought he had the brains to do the course. I said YES of course, because I had seen him train other people in the gym. He started the course and found he loved teaching, and his research and computer skills improved out of sight. He contacted me two years later and he was a mine site supervisor at the uranium mine in Jabiru – and said that it was the qualification that him the job.
And then there is Emily ( I have changed her name). Unemployed mother of three, divorced, been to prison for drug offences. We met at a coven meeting but I won’t go there. She also did the course with me and within 6 months of finishing was working as an LLN teacher here in Katherine at the university. A year later she was in Melbourne running a Community Education Centre. Now she has her own business and travels the country motivating people to buy her products that enable the recycling of plastic waste.
So yes – it changes lives
