When Martyn Carroll left school at 16, he didn’t realise he had dyslexia and simply thought higher education wasn’t for him.

He’s now proving just what he’s capable of thanks to a degree apprenticeship with The Open University and South Western Railway.

It means he can finally achieve his degree dream – and apply his learning right away, without taking a career break.

To do this learning and get to the end of the apprenticeship and stand up there at a degree ceremony with all the togs on and get the degree will be an amazing thing. It’s something to really look forward to and a real motivator.
