Academically I’ve been stagnant for far too long so decided to try and better myself. Boy, isn’t it ever tough trying to get back in to learning as an adult.

Anyone else found this?

I'm a compulsive learner, always learning new things.

Good place to start is to figure out your learning style. Then learn whatever in a way that makes sense to you

I found the hours difficult as the courses I did were from 6pm to 9pm and by 8pm I was too tired to think.

The content was quite basic and I scored quite high considering I joined 6 weeks late to each course.

I've always been learning something since I left college. It's definitely more difficult as I get older. The information just doesn't stick like it used to. I think/hope that's possibly due to having so many other commitments and it not being vital to retain it rather than cognitive decline.

I don't do as well with modern virtual learning, and often need to go over and over stuff. I'm a very visual/kinaesthetic learner, so listening to someone drone on, over a PowerPoint presentation just switches me off to it.

Currently doing a BSc in nutritional therapy.

Yes I did terrible at school, redid some GCSE's inny early 30's then went on to complete my degree.

I'm so glad I did, I'd have never done it when I was younger I was in a much better place to be able to study.
