Hide AdJill was a part-time teacher before starting at Highbury College, a job she hoped to continue on completing the plumbing course alongside another one using her new skills.
She said: ‘I thought it would be nice to have another string to my bow by learning a useful skill.
‘Now I’m hoping to find a suitable job which has flexible hours, so I can also continue teaching,’ she added.
