Excited with the new direction of his life.

Geoff had to leave his job as a care worker when he needed to have a hip replacement.

In March 2021, he decided to get out and start looking for a new career. With a lifelong love of numbers, he chose an Accounts course at Brasshouse.

Geoff instantly felt part of the learning community and realised that his physical problems weren’t a barrier to his succeeding. He credits this support with what drove him to want to succeed so much.

While studying on this course, Geoff noticed that the offices to the Commonwealth Games were in the Library too and decided he wanted to get involved. He was delighted to be accepted as a volunteer at his beloved Edgbaston Cricket Ground.

Enjoying his studies, Geoff took his learning to the next level and enrolled onto the challenging level 3 qualification. Partway through this course, he got the call to have his operation. After twelve weeks of intense rehabilitation he was determined to return and complete what he had started. Not succeeding straightaway, Geoff showed his resilience and determination by repeating the exam which he then passed.

Geoff is currently looking for an accountancy role. While he does this, he is volunteering with the accounts team to keep his skills sharp and ready to go when the job opportunity he so richly deserves turns up.

Siema has dedicated her life to caring for her family and has watched her children work towards achieving their career goals.

Happy to see them exploring their options, there was a part of her that regretted she had never had the opportunity to reach her own potential as a learner.

Siema had always enjoyed spending time with her own children and felt drawn to working in schools. In 2022 she enrolled on Working with Children course and also started to improve her English and Maths. At the start her confidence was low and she often asked for help with work which was within her capability.

Over the last 18 months, her tutors have been delighted to see her develop into a confident, independent learner. She not only completes all assessments to a high standard but is supportive of other learners and balances the demands of her courses, placement and very busy homelife.

She is now developing strong leadership skills, often taking the lead in class activities. When she started studying, Siema lacked concentration. It is great to see how focused she has now become. 

Siema intends to complete her Supporting Teaching and Learning – Level 3 course next year and achieve Level 2 in Maths and English so that she can work as a teaching assistant.

Andrew Packness, a 56-year-old Australian graduate, studied the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering online at EIT. He proved that age was no barrier to education and demonstrated the importance of lifelong learning, all while balancing family, work, and studies.

Andrew Packness’s decision to pursue an Online –Bachelor of Science (Electrical Engineering)through the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) was driven by the rapid advancements transforming the vertical transportation industry, which encompasses elevators, escalators, and moving walks.

This industry is increasingly integrating smart technologies, such as IoT and advanced monitoring systems, to enhance efficiency, safety, and user experience.

Earlier this year 10 of our colleagues attended the Microsoft 365 Bootcamp Training with SquareOne. Although we already had the Microsoft 365 package in the business, we were not using it to its full potential. The training provided us with a comprehensive understanding of Microsoft 365, enabling us to utilise it effectively and it has already had a positive impact on the way we work. The trainer was fantastic, and the overall service from SquareOne was excellent. We highly recommend both SquareOne and the course for any organisation looking to maximize their Microsoft 365 usage.
