Katie, 33, and James, 58, say they were both working in teaching roles and wanted to gain a new qualification.
James said: "I've been teaching for ten years, but only with the basic qualifications, and I decided I wanted to improve my skills.
"I was worried as I knew I'd be the oldest in the group, but it was just fantastic.
"Lifelong learning is what I'm all about, I'm the poster boy for it I think, you know, I'm still learning and every day is a school day.
"I'd definitely recommend it, if I can do it, anybody can."
Katie says she chose the course as she wants to work with young adults, teaching art and design and graphics.
James currently works as a carpentry and joinery lecturer and assessor.
