Laura Pinney, Internal Communication Diploma

It was a long time since I focused on my development.

I had gone on training courses sporadically but to actually commit to a qualification and spend time really learning was different. I decided if I was going to do it, I was going to do it properly and really commit to it.

Having not studied for a long time, I was a little apprehensive on day one as I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the tutors were incredibly warm and supportive. I came away from the first workshop feeling part of a community. I was learning with people who faced the same issues and challenges as me and it was great to chat in the breaks – I learned a lot from others on the course.
