I am very happy with the experience and 100% recommend this training"

FLT Re-familiarisation

The course instructor explained everything in detail and broke down parts I didn't fully understand. This company is top notch compared to other training providers I've used, as they cover everything thoroughly without missing any important details

CSCS Course with Green Card

"I enjoyed the course and found it to be a great experience. My tutor, Kelly, was very helpful, guiding me every week as I learned about mental health support. The course was amazing. My favorite part was learning about supporting friends and family. I aim to use this knowledge to bring positive change to my life and provide support to people in the hairdressing industry!"

Stress, Anxiety and Coping Mechanisms

"I have loved this course so much, and it has helped me immensely. Maria has been amazing. What a wonderful lady she is! She has been a huge support to everyone in the group, and the whole group was lovely and supportive. I am fully looking forward to doing the resilience training again with Maria in the future. A massive thank you to everyone. You are all incredible, and thank you for this opportunity. I highly recommend it to everyone; honestly, just do it. You will love it, and it will help."

Linz C.

Stress, Anxiety and Coping Mechanisms

"I felt confident on the first day, experienced stress on the second day leading up to the final day. However, the instructor helped me relax, and I regained confidence for my final assessment. The staff are fantastic for a chat and putting you at ease. There was plenty of food and drinks if needed. I would choose to return here for future training, and I would recommend FST to anyone seeking FLT or other training."
