Meet the Student: Hollie Drewett
Students studying with TCAP appreciate the flexibility a vocational learning pathway can offer. Hollie’s story is no exception.
Vocational training opens the door for students who don’t feel full time study in a traditional academic environment is for them. Importantly, it allows students to balance existing work/home commitments with study, working at their own pace and attending regular practical days, aligned with their studies.
In Hollie’s case, training with TCAP has enabled her to follow her dream to become an Animal Physiotherapist while living with a range of health conditions and supporting a young family. In her words, here’s her story…
Without TCAP I wouldn’t have been able to begin my studies and career in animal physiotherapy.
HOLLIE DREWETT
I am a single mother to my five year old son and have battled with depression and anxiety for many years and have a condition called ‘fibromyalgia’. This course has given me the opportunity to fulfil my passion and has done so, firstly, by the huge support and belief from TCAP.
I have overcome so many obstacles I never thought I could have. For example, being in an environment with complete strangers was something I thought I could never achieve. Now, I can do so without question and this is due to them instilling confidence in me and allowing me to believe in myself with their continuous praise and great feedback.
This has also had an enormous positive effect on other aspects of my life.
Secondly, I am able to choose dates that suit me and my lifestyle, whereas other courses aren’t as flexible; I would have to complete block weeks or specific dates, which wouldn’t have been doable. TCAP offer an array of dates and practical days meaning I can complete modules and practical dates when I choose. This is paramount to me because of school terms, childcare, or my fibromyalgia ‘flares’.
It also takes a lot of pressure off me, having a positive impact on the work I produce. I believe I am able to complete my work to a higher standard because of this.
The variety of training TCAP offers is outstanding, I have been able to travel and learn from different people and settings, crucial for the profession I am entering when qualified.
Lastly, this course has given me the opportunity to go straight into my dream career without having to complete other courses that don’t appeal to me first – for example human-based courses – keeping me focused and my goals more in sight. The standard of the course notes and training provided is outstanding and I will be forever grateful for TCAP and everyone involved for giving me this opportunity.
