History of Skills Workshop

Owned and maintained by Maggie Harnew, skillsworkshop dates back to the year 2000. The site has been hosted and developed by Fonant Ltd since 2011.

1998-2000

In late 1998 I became a volunteer basic skills tutor at Abingdon College. I had no previous teaching experience but soon realised that this was something I wanted to pursue. The next year, after attending a 6 week course to achieve my City & Guilds Initial Certificates in Teaching Adult Literacy and Adult Numeracy, I was offered two classes of my own.

Site supporters

I would like to thank the basic skills tutors and other professionals from the following institutions for their interest and/or registering with the site; and for their contributions, feedback, encouragement, support or advice.

There may be duplication or omissions below: many colleges have merged or changed names since I began this list in 2001. Bold print indicates a 2019 entry.
