Andy’s support
At the beginning of my apprenticeship I was worried I was really going to struggle with my learning difficulties until I was passed on to Andy who was very helpful and supportive setting me Cognitive assessments to provide me with the best support possible through my apprenticeship. He regularly checks in to ensure I’m getting along with it and reminds me to keep up with it. Which was helpful if I didn’t understand anything and he is always on hand to answer any questions I have. He also ensured that my personal tutor was aware of any additional support I need.
Thank you Andy I really appreciate the support you have given with in the beginning on my apprenticeship.

Hi Ebonnie,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re so pleased to hear that you’ve felt supported from the start of your apprenticeship and that the additional guidance has helped you feel more confident in your learning. It’s great to know the regular check-ins and tailored support have made a positive difference to your journey.
Highly recommended
I have been with Shaping Lives for around 8 months now and I highly recommend them!
I receive direct messages from Andy, he goes above and beyond to ensure I am supported and given the best help possible when it comes to my apprenticeship. He makes sure I am not struggling or having any difficulties throughout my course. He checks in - making sure I am okay monthly / bimonthly and it’s nice to know extra support is there if needed. He regularly speaks with my personal tutor, discussing what support i require and if anything needs adjusting or tweaking to help me with all different aspects throughout my apprenticeship. He often gives me reminders to sign on to cognassist which I find very helpful as this is something I forget to do. I appreciate Andy’s messages and Shaping Lives for all of the support, advice, help and guidance I am given while completing my apprenticeship with them

I really enjoyed my workshops with Sarah Fox. She explained everything so I could take it in and provided a relaxed and comfortable environment, giving me the confidence to join in with group discussions. Sarah always replied to my emails with a fast response and was very supportive. I passed my level 3 yearly years with distinction.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review
Sara Fox has been an outstanding tutor during my Level 3 Early Years Educator workshops. She has truly been a pillar of knowledge, inclusiveness, and integrity. Always welcoming everyone with a big smile, she creates a safe and open space where all perspectives and opinions are valued.
Sara is consistently supportive—always just an email away—and incredibly effective at helping to resolve issues with clarity and care. In such a short period of time, I have learned an incredible amount, and her guidance has left a lasting impact on me.
Highly recommended as a university lecturer. An inspiring educator who genuinely makes a difference.

Level 5 Apprenticeship.
I have been completing my Level 5 for nearly 6 months now. I have Angela Williams as my tutor and feel incredibly fortunate to be able to be guided by her whilst I complete my Apprenticeship. The layout of the Apprenticeship is brilliant, with a wide variety of formats and different ways to learn the information. The guidance and support is abundant and you feel so supported and feel like your development professionally and personally is genuinely at the forefront of the skill building. I have thoroughly enjoyed my apprenticeship so far and I look forward to all that is coming up.

Feedback review
I am currently working towards my Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification. I cannot thank Angela Williams enough for the support and guidance she gives me. I feel like I’m constantly pestering her with emails and yet I ALWAYS get a response. Our 1-to-1 calls are so informative, and allow me to self-reflect on my own practice. I feeling like I’ve got my own personal “cheerleader” rooting for me! ShapingLives, the course I am doing is so well-structured and I am really enjoying it. I feel like I’ve come out of my shell completely since starting with you. So thank you!!
