My name is Kumudu Perera. As I mentioned in my last blog. after working for Grant Thornton for six years and a week at the end of September 2007, I got made redundant from my job which I loved. But after a few months looking for a new job, I could find a new job so I went to my local library in my area and found a leaflet which mentioned learn direct. Once I got home I immediately phoned them up and arranged a day and time to go and discuss what I wanted to learn. I chose this opportunity for myself as I was getting bored and fustrated at home not being able to do anything which I am not used to even though I have a learning disability through childhood. Once I started with Learn Direct in early 2008 the lectures really helped me, I could take my own time and was not under any pressure.
The Staff are really helpful to all their adult learners regardless if you have a learning disabilty or not. The courses I took with them were English and Maths. I passed my English Level 1 with them in the summer of 2009. Which I am really pleased about. All the staff at my local Learn Direct centre were really pleased for me. They also noticed I was struggling with my maths as always have found very difficult for me especially as I have a learning disability as I mentioned earlier, so they arranged me a maths tutor in a adult class with a small group of adult learners and also that year I took my maths entry level 3 and passed that as well which I did not expect. I kept up the maths course again for a further two years,so from 2010 I started to learn more maths and go onto the next level for me which was level 1 in maths. So in mid July of this year I took my maths level 1 exam, and I succeded and passed this level also which I took longer to learn. I would recommend learn direct to any adult who want to learn with them.
