"The time for having a personalised learning programme for each student is now - not some time in the future," said Rob Abel, Chief Executive of IMS Global Learning Consortium.

“I’ve made friends through the NVA. Everyone in my class is very nice,
including my tutor.
Having a group of friends in a class that can discuss work with one another
is very important.
I would 100% recommend the NVA to other people, I haven’t found anything that has been a problem for me. The NVA is the perfect choice if you are unable to get to school on a regular
basis”.

“As soon as I heard about Nisai I knew I had another opportunity to continue my education and
help me in life.
I would love to be an accountant and have had my
heart set on it since I was little. The NVA has enabled me to
achieve the qualifications I need to work towards this”.
“I missed 3 years of education prior to joining the NVA but
have caught up in a year and a half.
The NVA has turned my life around, helping me to settle down and focus a lot more.
I’ve gained a place in college studying Fashion and
Photography”.
