The Inspirational Marie-Rose
Published on 03.01.2019Brooklands College has always welcomed learners of all ages and abilities.
Our school leaver courses lead the way in employability skills, in areas such as Construction, Engineering, Travel & Tourism, Catering, and Hair and Beauty whilst adult learners opt to ‘improve their skills’ through a variety of part-time courses.
Marie Rose-Hall from Byfleet has decided to improve her skills, and at 90 years old, has started a basic computer skills course at our Weybridge campus.
“I wanted to learn how to use the computer and I think it’s good to do new things and I’ve found the whole thing invigorating. My tutor Sue is just so patient,” exclaimed an overwhelmingly positive Marie-Rose. “There is a real mix of ages, and it’s so lovely to learn with other people.”
A retired French teacher, Marie-Rose, who worked at George Abbott School, explained that computer skills were not needed when she was teaching back in the 1980/90’s. She attended an Open Event in October following the recommendation of a friend.
Learn a new skill or kick-start your career with a part-time course at Brooklands College. With courses starting imminently, come to our Open Event on Saturday 12th January, 10am to 12noon, and enrol on the day.
