✨ Thomas Builds a New Future with ACL! 🛠️

After nearly 25 years as a project manager in London, Thomas saw the changing landscape of his industry and made a bold move, back to the North East, ready to start a new chapter. With a clear goal in mind, he gave himself one year to learn everything he could about the construction industry.

Thomas had already completed a Multi Skills course with another provider but knew that to progress, he needed his CSCS card. That’s when he found the Site Safety Academy course with ACL. Our 5-day programme is designed to help learners gain the skills and certification to work safely on construction sites, fully funded for eligible candidates like Thomas.

Thomas shared:
"The course gave me the knowledge and confidence to provide safety for myself and others under my management. my tutor, Dave was full of industry insight and incredibly supportive."

Since completing the course, Thomas has launched his own business and secured contracts with Michael Poole and Thirteen Group. What an incredible achievement!

"I'm very hopeful for the future. This was a huge milestone, and I'm thankful for my time at Middlesbrough College. I'd encourage anyone thinking about signing up to just go for it!"

Thomas’ story is a powerful reminder that with the right support and determination, it’s never too late to change direction and succeed!
