More About Me

I'm passionate about

Learning, skills, no matter what age or ability.

An idea worth spreading

We've developed and evolved without qualifciations? Qualifications are a box and boxes are bad. Qualifications don't matter, in fact they get in the way. It's just that we haven't come up with a viable alternative to recognising what people can offer that is measurable. So time to change? What happended to refferences and recommendations? People recognised for what they have contributed, rather than what they can potentially do?

Talk to me about

Vocational Education.

People don't know that I'm good at

Playing the trumpet.
