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.

“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.”
