“What an amazing group of online learners,” WEA Tutor Julia said. “This has been a new course, and they have exceeded all expectations.”
Talking about how the group supported each other, Claire said: “It was the way we all interacted, the way we all made time for each other. No one was ever negative about anybody else’s comments, it was all very much positive.”
“It was like a whole collective,” Emma Jsaid. “All of us all together, we worked as a team.”
“We helped each other submit our assignments on time!” Olufunke added.
They are a dedicated and motivated group and I have been privileged to be their tutor.

The group were winners of the WEA Learner Group Award at the 2022 WEA awards.
“Learners had to complete placement hours and all learners found their own placements by approaching local early years settings,” Julia explained in her nomination. “They had to carry out many tasks to complete 32 units! The level of their research and knowledge and understanding of early years practice has impressed me.”
“Most of the learners have either continued on to volunteer in early years settings, some have found paid employment, and two learners that were in paid employment were given a promotion once their certificate arrived.”
“They have achieved all of this through very difficult circumstances. Many lost family to Covid, many have struggled with personal circumstances, and continued attending the course and completing work.”
