Dena White writes about how to obtain undergraduate degrees

They have been so incredibly supportive and helpful in my retraining. I had no idea what I wanted to do but the advisors are so helpful and friendly, they really know how to gar you towards the right career for you. I thought I would feel silly, speaking to advisors about my career at my age. But they really put me at ease. And they let me study part time so I could still work. The whole experience has been fantastic, and I am even considering having another look at their NVQ qualifications soon to see if I can do another one. For me, getting a City & Guilds qualification has just meant progression in every aspect of my life – I thoroughly recommend it.
