Victor's Tenant Academy story
Nottingham City Council tenant Victor Haven has recently taken part in a range of courses through our Tenant Academy. Here's Victor's story, in his own words:
Learning is always useful and, thanks to the Tenant Academy, I have qualifications in first aid and food hygiene. These courses are useful in many ways - in a work environment or in life in general.
Currently, I am doing a course in mindfulness, which is possibly the most useful course I have ever done. It's so beneficial in many ways, and excellent for my mental health and well-being.
I have found the instructors on the courses to be knowledgeable and professional - they know their stuff!
I was a bit concerned about whether I would be able to keep up with the pace of learning but I found that on each course the instructors were aware of how different people learn at different speeds, and they made allowances to keep everyone on board.
On accredited courses there is an assessment, but it's easy enough once you've done the course, and you walk away with a qualification that can help you to get a job!
I have benefited not only from the learning itself but also from interacting with other people - we were all there for the same reason, so everyone was friendly and there was a relaxed atmosphere.
If you’re thinking about doing a course with the Tenant Academy then I would say just do it! It's free, it's good and it'll get you out and about and enhance your CV!
