Adult Education Courses

New beginnings and personal transformation can really help recovery from domestic violence. Education can be a key part of rebuilding life after any trauma.

For many people, this is a long-awaited return to learning after years of instability or abuse.

We help women with the following pathways to education, courses and, ultimately, employment:

  • Health and Social Care NVQ Level 2 and 3 courses.
  • Teaching Assistant (TA) and Childcare NVQ Level 2 and 3 courses.
  • Conducted on-site and online, these classes can help you enter the education sector to help children and young people.
  • This course now includes Dyslexia Awareness and other aspects of Special Educational Needs.
  • Course includes Support Study sessions and Continuous Professional Development for TA learners through additional courses such as Practitioner Support courses.
  • We have helped many women into paid employment and leadership roles in the community.

STORM story

One woman we helped back to work said:

  • STORM supported me to gain my Level 3 NVQ, provided childcare for my child with additional needs, and was there during my darkest moment. They reminded me of my strength.
