Suzanne’s inspirational journey to SCQF level 11 – SCQF Blog
“Newbattle made my heart change, made my soul change, made everything inside me light up.”
Suzanne, 35, has faced many challenges in her life. Growing up in the care system, becoming a mum aged 14, managing dyslexia, ADHD, and a physical disability meant education was never easy. But with the support of Newbattle Abbey College (NAC) and by using Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF), Suzanne found her path.
Next steps at SCQF level 10
Now, Suzanne is a first-year student at Edinburgh University, studying for an MA in Learning in Communities at SCQF level 10.
Her journey through the SCQF shows how the framework can provide a clear path for learners.
For Suzanne, Newbattle Abbey College has been more than just a stepping stone in her education. It has been a life-changing experience. “I wouldn’t have been able to get to university if it wasn’t for Newbattle. The environment is life-changing and incredible,” she explained.
Suzanne feels equipped to face the challenges ahead, thanks to the skills and support she gained at NAC. “I’ve learned skills to take forward – I can now deal with the challenges that I’m facing at uni.”
