gave me the opportunity to gain the qualifcations

prepare me or tertiary study. It was a valuable

steeping stone that prepared me or the University

environment and expectations o degree study.

helped when starting my degree.

Im now studying to become a primary school

teacher. Ive enjoyed meeting new people and the

satisaction o completing assignments, tests and

courses. I highly recommend the oundation

certifcate as it is great preparation or urther

University study and a way to get used to the
