Students learning at H&F Council's Macbeth Centre have told of how the professional qualifications and creative classes are helping them to pursue new career paths and hobbies.
The campus – based on Macbeth Street, just off King Street in Hammersmith – holds a wide variety of courses, including languages, childcare and art, at affordable prices.
Find the full list of classes on our adult learning website.
One standout story came from Natalia Morozova, who recently qualified as a legal interpreter and is now working freelance – thanks to the Macbeth Centre's course.
Natalia passed the challenging Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI) exam this year after taking our class. Natalia is now working as a freelance interpreter.
"I couldn't have been successful without the class at the Macbeth Centre," she explained. "Only about 30 per cent of people normally pass the exam."
Our team were flexible and helped her balance being a new mum while taking the course.
"The support from the Macbeth Centre team made all the difference," Natalia added. "My tutor has worked in the industry for more than 20 years, so she's got a wealth of knowledge. She advised us on how to break into the industry and helped us find work."
