Adapting to university life can be a daunting and highly stressful time for young people and their families, as everyone adjusts to the many challenges and changes it brings.

Gareth’s wealth of experience is condensed into sound, practical advice that you can implement straight away.

  1. Matthew, Teacher

    Gareth has a wealth of experience that he passes on clearly, simply and eloquently. His advice is extremely useful, practical and thought provoking.
    Our son is about to go to university. He’s excited about it and we’re confident he’ll be fine but this course still gave us plenty to consider and discuss together. Thanks Gareth

  2. Sarah

    Covers aspects such as practical preparation, what to anticipate, helpful ways of thinking, differences in approach as a learner and as a parting parent and what are realistic expectations in modern times of university life and career paths as well as how best to navigate studentship. Helpful information with a reassuring tone and suitable suggestions for tackling this stage of education.

  3. Lisa

    Definitely worth the money, would have been happy to pay more for the quality of information. It’s made us feel a lot better prepared for the changes ahead this autumn, which don’t seem quite so daunting now.
