For Mandeep Kaur, starting the NIS course was a bold step into a completely new career after working as a nurse. 

“Beginning my journey with NIS was a huge change for me. I wanted something different, and it’s never too late for a change if you’re unhappy. I was going in completely blind and had no idea about anything rail. As the only woman in my class, I felt a little nervous at first, but everyone was so welcoming and the tutors were incredibly supportive.” 

“Whenever I had doubts during the course, Tutors Kev, Harry, and Wayne were always there to help me through the tough days. They did everything they could to keep me going and not give up. I don’t think I would have got this far without them. They were my support system all the way through.” 

“I have gained so much confidence in myself – it’s unbelievable. I’m finishing this course a completely different person, able to talk to anyone without being shy. I now believe in myself and I’m really proud. Changing careers was a risk, but definitely one worth taking.” 

“I can’t thank the trainers enough for everything they’ve done for me. They have helped me find confidence and I’m so grateful. I am proud to have made the career change to work on the track. Thank you so much to NIS.”
