"Before I came to INSPIRE Training and I really didn’t know what I wanted to do, I enjoyed sports but felt that going to college wasn’t the right step for me, at that time. I met with the Careers Advisor at school and she told me about the INSPIRE Traineeship programme. I visited the sports site and met with the tutors before I signed up and they explained to me what the course entailed. I’ve loved being here, the tutors treat you with respect and talk to you like adults, there are loads of activities that are linked to theory. I feel my confidence has grown tremendously and I’ve achieved my BTEC Sports Level 1. I have applied to college and am now starting Level 2, and I feel now, thanks to INSPIRE I can take my new found confidence and maturity with me. I’m still in touch with the team now."
