English or maths national qualifications. Come in, practice and get free guidance at one of the seven sessions and then sit an exam.
Test yourself
Story by Rob Smith
“The idea,” said Jon Cowley of New Deal, “Is to give as many people as possible the chance to gain national English and Maths qualifications. The second is to encourage people to improve their English and Maths skills in general. You should give it a try Rob!” Jon informed me that, along with himself, Tony Tingle from the Adult Community Learning Unit, Burngreave Community Learning Campaign and other partners have been working to bring the Sheffield College tests to Burngreave.
“So has this initiative been a success?” I asked.
“It has been a great success elsewhere in the city. The Burngreave sessions will take place in several places around the community starting on June 13th. You should have a go Rob. Come along and bring a friend. For those who complete the test there will be a £30 Meadowhall voucher to spend.”
“30 quid! So all I have to do is do OK at the practice session, then take the national test two weeks later!”
“Yeah Rob it’s as simple as that.”
“I’ll be there Jon, it smells like a free meal ticket to me.”
