On the first day of her Skills Bootcamp journey, Kelly’s tutor took the time to get to know her, understand her career goals, and explain the support systems available at Realise.
The personalised approach eased Kelly’s anxiety, and by the end of the day, she was excited to continue learning and expanding her knowledge of early years!
The Skills Bootcamp includes daily tasks designed to reinforce learning, and time allocated at the end of each group study session for task completion, allowing Kelly to balance her studies with her personal life.
Kelly’s tutors provided consistent feedback on Kelly’s work, suggesting areas for improvement and additional resources, fostering her growth and development.
Kelly was impressed with how the trainers were always available to address her questions and concerns and created an inclusive environment where Kelly and the rest of the cohort felt comfortable sharing their perspectives and experiences.

In addition to gaining vital skills and knowledge that early years employers are looking for, the Skills Bootcamp equipped Kelly with essential career skills that will set her up for life.
With the help of her career coach Kaisha, Kelly received guidance on CV writing, interview techniques, and tips on how to navigate the workplace, boosting her confidence in her professional abilities.
Kaisha took great care in explaining to Kelly what she could expect on her first day at Daisies Daycare, easing her apprehension about starting her Level 3 accelerated apprenticeship – saving up to 6 months of study time.
