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.
