Is your New Years resolution to improve your self-esteem and get your life back on track? Richmond College is offering a free course aimed at people seeking work or returning to education after a long absence.

A Gentle Introduction to Personal Development is being offered at centres at Twickenham, Mortlake and Ham in January. The course shows students how to make a fresh start, and teaches the origins of self-esteem, how to build self-confidence and how to set personal goals.

Organisers at the college promise the courses will be fun with very little theory to be learnt. There is no test at the end, and pupils do not need to take notes. Ring Robert Owen on 020 8607 8132
