“I am currently in year two of an Early Childhood Education Degree at Carshalton College.
I recently had the opportunity to visit Finland through my place of work to learn about the Finnish education system and their culture. I was the only member of support staff out of the 25 who attended the course, the rest were teachers or members of senior leadership team from other settings.
However, thanks to all that I have learnt since starting my degree, I had enough knowledge and confidence to participate in all activities and conversations that took place. Rewind to a year ago and this would have been a very different experience!
One of the best decisions of my adult life has been signing up to this degree, it has impacted my practice in a way I never would have imagined and has increased my self-confidence, both professionally and personally. I have also made some wonderful friends and the tutors are fantastic.”
