Success Stories

Ringo previously worked within the hospitality sector alongside a fellow learner, due to Covid restrictions, he was made redundant. The course was recommended to Ringo through a previous learner.

“Working alongside a friend and colleague from my previous role, I felt comfortable to take on a career change in the middle of a pandemic. The tutoring and course content was the right pace and I felt comfortable – yet challenged. I was lucky to secure a role in Telecoms with Kelly’s group, South Yorkshire. Thanks to all the team at A2L for the opportunity’.”

Ringo has been working with Kelly’s Group since 27th October 2020.

Raymond has been previously unemployed for the past 3 years, he was referred by our Recruitment team.

“Being out of work for such along time knocked my confidence and my ability to work with others. Being at AIM*2*LEARN has enabled me to establish a routine and given me the motivation I needed to take pride in myself again. I can’t thank them enough for moving me onto City fibre, where I am doing a level 3 in Fibre installs. I never thought id be capable, but my tutors have pushed me – thank you. ”

Raymond has gone onto train at a higher level to be a Fibre Optic engineer with City Fibre West Yorkshire.

Ryan has been unemployed since January 2020, after personal circumstances forced him to relocate. Ryan was referred through our recruitment team.

The work you do at A2L is amazing and you all really don’t get enough credit, Thank you’.

Whilst reviewing one of their student’s CV, our tutor saw the student held a PhD for Veterinary Science in their home country. Having arrived in the UK as an asylum seeker 3 years ago, they had attempted to use available funding and retrain on a free, funded course as a Telecommunications Engineer. They’d not attempted to continue their career here, as they couldn’t afford the fee to take the UK exam.

Our tutor looked to find them a route back into veterinary science in the UK. They spoke with a legal advisor first about the legality of their student’s status, then to the Royal Veterinary College.

The college asked that they draft a declaration of intent to return to veterinary sciences, in exchange for a role shadowing a Vet with a UK certification. Our tutor and the student wrote the letter and submitted it, succeeding in securing the shadow role.

The college explained that the student would be able to take an exam at the end of their shadowing period.

We heard from them on New Years Day, to find out they had now secured a role in their trade and are on their way to greatly improving their situation.

Josh had been working previously as a fabricator in a factory but had been made redundant and was unemployed for 6 months before finding us online.

Josh engaged well with the training he received from Aim2Learn and saw the benefit straight away;

“Because I’m only young I hadn’t got much to put on my CV, but the Aim2Learn guys help you bring out your experience and promote yourself on your CV. They gave me the confidence in what I was learning to go out and get a role in the trade.”

Josh has done well with his course and secured a role with Circet working on fibre optic networks in Dublin.

Saeed had been battling unemployment since the disruption brought on by COVID and had been unable to secure a role for over 2 years.

Saeed found Aim2Learn advertised on Facebook when looking for opportunities to retrain, he undertook an IT Telecommunications Engineer Level 2 course at our training centre in Huddersfield.

“What Aim2Learn do is so different from what’s out there, because they give you the chance to find a new career, not a job.”

Saeed has managed to secure a role working as a Telecoms Engineer for Circet following his success in qualifying.

Fred had been struggling to find a regular position since emigrating to the UK from the Philippines a few years ago. He found the Aim2Learn Telecommunications course in 2022 and had completed studying before the new year. After just three weeks from his completion date he was offered a role with PIA as a Trainee Telecoms Engineer.

He is now employed with PIA, working on installing overhead Fibre Optic cables to new network locations around the UK. Fred is loving his new role and feels lucky to have found one so quickly after finishing his qualification.

When I first walked into the building my nerves were through the roof I was panicking and stressing. After meeting john and doing my induction with him my nerves calmed right down, he helped comfort me and made me really confident about the course. I’m now approaching the end of week 2 and I have passed numerous assessments. My advice to new starters is go with the flow don’t panic and ask for help if you need it, the tutors here are the best I’ve ever been taught by, and John is only round the corner if you need a chat.

To give a little update I am now approaching the end of week 5 and I am well on my way to passing this course. John has been supportive throughout my time on the course and without fail every time he has seen me he has taken time out of his day to ask me how I am and how I am progressing.

I would also like to say how good of a tutor Lee Clarkson is, he has supported me throughout the course and has understood how stressed I get over assignments he is a brilliant tutor and we are all lucky to be getting educated by him.

Upon arriving at Aim2Learn, I was provided mass amounts of support and was clearly told what I would expect from the course. The course is not the easiest but with help from tutors and friends I am excelling in my work, enjoying the experience whilst giving my all in everything.

I would advise anyone that is fearful in starting this course or similar courses provided by Aim2Learn not to worry as you’re going to be welcomed and taught by the best teachers who are more than happy to assist with your journey.

I am excited to see how far I can grow with the skills provided to me by Aim2Learn and cannot wait to advance in the telecommunications sector.
