"This was a great course to learn. I would highly recommend people do this course. This can also be good for parole, and doing these courses opens up the job world for me to gain a good job when released from prison."
Workplace Digital Skills learner, HMP Durham
"Thank you for the opportunity to learn how to run a business in a safe way. The importance of the business plan, survival budget, product services, legal responsibilities, customer service, cash flow—all of them in order to run a business successfully."
Mind Your Own Business learner, HMP Isle of Wight
"Thank you—it made me realise what people are going through and that they are not alone. When I started this, I didn’t think I could do it as I’ve got mental health as well, but I’m so glad I did. So thank you."
