Michael Hodson Michael left school with no qualifications as he was given little opportunity to learn. Since joining Oldham Council, Michael has completed a range of courses with Lifelong Learning, while showing determination and conviction in applying himself to self improvement. The courses have taken two years to complete and since enrolling on them, his managers have said he has become an asset to Oldham Council. During the first year, he passed Entry Level 3 in English and Maths, the first qualifications Michael had ever achieved. Spurred on by his success, Michael went on to study his Level 1 in Maths over a 9 month period. He then took his Level 1 in English which took another 12 months to achieve. Michael is currently studying Level 2 English and Maths and has just been accepted on a Level 2 Horticultural Adult Apprenticeship course.
