In 2008, Shane decided to change his life once and for all by attending our Functional Skills course. When he first joined the Free2Learn family, Shane was feeling insecure about his future while his self-esteem was incredibly low. After a lot of hard work and determination, Shane finished the programme with a GCSE equivalent of grade D (Level 1), his English and math skills were massively improved despite dealing with dyslexia, while his confidence was completely restored.

Anta turned her passion into a career. When we first met Anta, she had no plans in the horizon and felt uncertain about her future and career prospects. Fortunately, the Free2Learn team welcomed Anta with open arms and helped her kick-start her career in the beauty industry. Anta is now a trainee at the Shea’D Beauty Salon in East London and, once her training is complete, she will start working full-time as a nail-artist.

“I would like to thank Free2Learn and the staff for believing in me and pushing me in the right directions to achieve my goals. Many times I felt, If would give up but but my teachers gave me the confidence to pull myself on the track. I had never been to school and so my English and Maths weren’t perfect. I joined Functional Skills classes and got myself ready for the SIA course that I am doing now.”
“The course has helped me build my confidence. I had lost all my confidence and never came out of the house since my divorce.But after I joined the Functional Skills classes, I felt much better and regained the strength to come out and attend classes everyday.”
“I am very grateful to Free2learn team as they helped me improve my English by passing the English and Maths course. Afterwards I started a SIA course and with the great support of my dedicated teachers I managed to complete it. My efforts were rewarded and I was offered a job. Now I am a proud member of Free2learn family as a SIA door supervisor.”
