Rocky start but improved
At the beginning of my course I felt communication with me was quite poor, I was enrolled but no work started for a couple of months which sets my completion date back even further. I was then without much warning transferred to a new tutor Angela Williams who has been helpful and is helping me my qualifications.

Hi Molly,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that the start of your apprenticeship didn’t meet your expectations and that communication felt unclear early on. That’s not the experience we want any learner to have, and we truly appreciate you highlighting it.
We’re glad to hear that your personal tutor has been helpful and is now supporting you with your qualification. It’s great to know things have improved, and we’re committed to making sure the rest of your journey is smooth, supportive and focused on helping you succeed.
If there’s ever anything more you need, we’re always here to help.
Thank you - Angela Williams
I would like to say a huge thank you to Angela Williams, for all the support she has given me throughout my Level 5 Leadership and Management apprenticeship. Angela has been absolutely amazing throughout - always supportive, knowledgeable, and encouraging. She took the time to explain things clerly, gave constructive feedback, and genuinely cared about my progress and development. Her guidance made a real difference to my confidence and success on the programme. I couldnt have asked for a better tutor. Thank you, Angela, for doing such a fantastic job.

Absolutely incredible, would recommend
Angela Williams is currently my tutor while I complete my Early Years Level 3 Qualification. She and Shaping Lives have been an incredible experience for me. I struggled at college so I left and started this apprenticeship with Shaping Lives and I was very lucky to have Angela as my tutor. I have been supported throughout my learning and she is always available for me to ask any questions, no matter how small. Thank you so much Angela and Shaping Lives, you really have made this so much easier for me!

From the initial onboarding through to the ongoing support from your personal tutor, it’s fantastic to know our team made the process smooth, friendly and engaging for everyone involved.
Supporting employers and learners every step of the way is exactly what we’re here for, so thank you for trusting us and for the glowing recommendation!
I've completed my level 3!!
My tutor Angela Williams was an absolute star and breathe of fresh air to work with. She kept pushing me and helped me organise the difficulties I was facing. Whether they were personal or from my experience of the apprenticeship itself, Angela made things so much more clearer for me. Although my experience from the apprenticeship itself could have been managed better. I had to go through atleast 4 other tutors until I got to Angela and my coursework and other areas were not up to standard. But we got there in the end. Thank you so much once again, Angela xxxx

The most amazing training providers
I had such a wonderful experience being trained by Shaping Lives and I had the most amazing tutor - Amy. I had a lot going on throughout my apprenticeship, but Amy supported me through listening to me, giving me someone to talk to and lessening the pressure on me. Amy was also the reason I managed to finish my Level 3 early to meet the University application deadlines. I recieved my grade today - a distinction - and I could not have done it without such an amazing tutor.

We have had an outstanding experience working with Shaping Lives They are truly excellent - professional, transparent, and extremely supportive at every step. Louise Bromhall, in particular, has been fantastic, making the whole process smooth and stress-free.
Paragon Skills take care of everything: they recruit all our apprentices, carefully screen candidates before they come to us, and arrange interviews. One of the biggest benefits is that their service is free — they even arrange the funding so we don’t have to pay the usual 5% employer contribution.
It’s genuinely hassle-free; just a quick email or call to Louise and the team, and they sort everything out quickly and efficiently. We couldn't recommend Shaping Lives and Louise highly enough for any business looking for a seamless apprenticeship solution.
