I've been working towards my Early Years Level 3 apprenticeship and i've found it a really good experience. Amy has been really helpful answering any questions i have or even doing 1:1 workshops with me when timing doesn't work with my setting. They were really helpful to me when i was struggling with the work loads and my mental health and allowed me the time to work through things at my own pace. Which i really appreciated.

Jessica M is a really supportive and responsive tutor which is making my level 3 Early Years Educator course run smoothly.

I cannot thank shaping lives enough, I did my level 2 with (paragon) and now level 3 with shaping lives! My tutor Julie Holt has been nothing but amazing, Understanding and lovely throughout, very knowledgeable and a lovely lady! I’m awaiting epa but she’s helped me get through it! Sarah fox has been amazing at the workshop, her knowledge and delivery has been nothing but outstanding and such a lovely lady! I started this with Zoe Swinburne, who I miss dearly! 🤣 all three ladies have been amazing and an asset to you guys!

Throughout my apprenticeship with shaping lives there have been a couple of tutor changes but overall my experience has been a positive one. I have learnt a lot and improved on my practice by building knowledge and gaining skills in workshops (where Sarah F made them fun and engaging), a variety of activities in each module, discussions with my tutor and hands on experience. My tutor Bethany B has been so incredibly supportive, enthusiastic, friendly, kind and I feel I wouldn’t have done it without her. She’s helped me boost my confidence and been a wonderful guide to have. She’s not only been knowledgeable, easy to talk to and eased my anxiety but also checked up regularly on my emotional wellbeing and been reassuring and my number one supporter! If all tutors are like Bethany B then I definitely recommend completing your level 3 with shaping lives 😊

Susan hardy was just amazing has support was just unbelievable I will not have got the result I did without her she was understanding non-judgment helpful always need to stop available and she was just truly brilliant and I hope many more students have the benefit of her as their tutor

Elana is an excellent workshop tutor. She explains information clearly and makes the sessions engaging and easy to follow. Highly recommend her and Paragon UK Skills!

Great flexible learning and lots of extra resources. My tutor is great! Very supportive and knowledgeable, hats off for Sarah O'Dwyer

Loved being on board with shaping lives very profession and organised company. I particularly liked working with Sarah OD, she was very helpful throughout my apprentiship which made the process a lot more enjoyable and attainable. Would recommend!

I had an amazing experience with ShapingLives throughout my Level 2 apprenticeship. The support I received from the very beginning was consistent, encouraging, and genuinely motivating. They always made sure I felt confident in my work, guided me through any challenges, and pushed me to achieve my full potential. Thanks to their support, I was able to successfully complete my Level 2, and I’ve now progressed onto my Level 3 apprenticeship with them, which I’m really excited about.

A special mention has to go to my tutor, who was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly supportive, patient, and always available whenever I needed help or reassurance. She explained everything clearly, gave constructive feedback, and truly believed in me, which made such a big difference in my journey. I’m really grateful for everything ShapingLives and my tutor have done for me, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to start or continue their apprenticeship.

Fantastic lessons, delivered well and thoughtful to all students.

I am currently doing my level 5 many years after level 3 I am enjoying my learning and hand on heart would never have got this far without the support from Amy Baines she is encouraging flexible and breaks this course down to my learning level which is low in my first assessments so I'm really grateful to her for being a great tutor also my learning support from Gillian my English and maths tutor passed my English wow didn't think that was ever possible and eager to pass my maths even if I do find this a challenge but overall level 5 is great learning new ways and techniques every day which I'm using in my job role so thank you so much fir giving me this nanny another chance for learning I appreciate all you you in every way

I am currently studying my Level 3, the workshops are very informative, the tutors are all very understanding and are always on hand to support you. Amy B has been an amazing tutor! She is always able to answer my questions and provide me with the support i need. Overall I have had an amazing experience so far!

I had a great experience and would highly recommend this to anyone doing workshops.

Andy and Angela are helping me move forward and I'm so grateful for the 1 to 1 calls with Andy he has helped me catch up so much and able to understand the work a bit better and I'm also grateful for Angela's feedback on my work too.

I have found that the staff at Shaping Lives have been great at supporting me with all my worries and concerns.
My tutor Sarah has been on hand at all times to help.

My tutor Amy Baines was extremely helpful throughout my level three, answering questions at all times of day and building my confidence in myself! She's a superstar!

Jenn was supportive and genuine, she helped me relax through my Sen course and provided me with lots of reassurance and guidance.

I’ve been working with Shaping Lives for a few years now, with my staff completing their apprenticeships through them, and I’m currently undertaking my Level 5 qualification. I’ve been really happy with the support provided throughout.
Amy Baines has been amazing from start to finish — always supportive and there through all the ups and downs.
