What Marie says…

"I have recently started attending the Urban Academy and I really enjoy it. I'm doing the 'Yes, Chef!' course, 'Get on the Road', 'Running your own Home' and 'Becoming Legit'. I'm so excited doing these courses. I'm particularly interested in the 'Yes, Chef!' course as it enables me to learn how to cook and prepare food as I have never had much experience before. Hopefully at the end of the course I will be able to make roast dinners. I'm also able to make friends and have the experience of becoming a young mature adult."
