I found the hours difficult as the courses I did were from 6pm to 9pm and by 8pm I was too tired to think.
The content was quite basic and I scored quite high considering I joined 6 weeks late to each course. |

I've always been learning something since I left college. It's definitely more difficult as I get older. The information just doesn't stick like it used to. I think/hope that's possibly due to having so many other commitments and it not being vital to retain it rather than cognitive decline. |

I don't do as well with modern virtual learning, and often need to go over and over stuff. I'm a very visual/kinaesthetic learner, so listening to someone drone on, over a PowerPoint presentation just switches me off to it.
Currently doing a BSc in nutritional therapy. |

Yes I did terrible at school, redid some GCSE's inny early 30's then went on to complete my degree.
I'm so glad I did, I'd have never done it when I was younger I was in a much better place to be able to study.
