What impact it has had on me:
It has really helped me grow as a person and become in touch with the real world and working life. I done work experience as part of the course, I was working in a Barber shop in Birr and that gave me great experience interacting with customers in a real working environment.
What I’m most proud of in completing the programme:
I’m proud of getting the Diploma, especially in such confusing times with the Covid-19 pandemic. The last few months were very different and challenging but I’m really proud to have completed it. Now I have opportunities to do further training and I’ve already applied to do the VTCT Level 3 in Barbering. I’ve also made a lot of new friends in the centre and have a good group of people around me now.
