What learners say about Stacey...

Varsity Training are an excellent training provider and I have no hesitation in saying they are by far the best provider we have ever used. They treat all their learners as individuals and pay attention to the diversity between learners and always respond accordingly to any issues that may arise.

My assessor, Stacey, offered consistent encouragement, patience, empathy, compassion and light hearted humour throughout my apprenticeship. Stacey's kind heartedness and professional approach helped me to stay and complete the course. This support has not only helped me to feel a little more confident in my learning needs, but has also helped me to believe in myself in other areas of my life.

At the beginning of my course, I found the process overwhelming. I struggled with anxiety and with organising myself, and the workload felt unmanageable. But the support I received from you changed my entire experience. You helped me break everything down into achievable steps, and the clear training plan you created made an enormous difference and allowed me to see a clear path through the course.

Because of your guidance, I didn’t just learn how to manage the workload; I began to believe in myself. Your kindness, consistency, and the way you uplift me helped me grow in confidence both academically and personally. I truly believe I could not have come this far without you, and half of what I have achieved is thanks to the structure, encouragement, and belief you have given me.
