MP Meg Hillier visiting Free2Learn as part of the Free2Learn Close Protection Course for the Une

HACKNEY, U.K. - Nov. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- On 18th  October unemployed students claiming benefits  attending the Free2Learn FREE  Close Protection course were able to put into practice their training and knowledge when the local MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch, Meg Hillier MP, volunteered to be ‘The Principal’ for the final day of their final close protection exercise.

The team collected Meg from her first appointment at a local school and escorted her using 2 vehicles to a local business. Meg is used to having security teams escort her when on trips abroad and she was thrilled at the ‘professional’ performance of her ‘Body guard’ and driver. The driver was so good that Meg did not realise he was a student for about 15 minutes!

The team secured her at the business venue and then took her to the Free2Learn offices in Hackney, where  she had an opportunity to see the facilities of the centre. Meg also met current students and spoke to them about the exciting redevelopment planned for Hackney. She was particularly impressed with the training area and the variety of tutors on site.

When Meg had to leave for her final meeting, the Free2Learn Student Protection Team escorted her seamlessly from the building. She was taken to a local hotel where the exercise ended. Here she commended about her team and the professionalism it displayed. She was so happy that she said she would like to do it again in future and that she would recommend that some of her fellow MPs should volunteer in the future.

The day was invaluable for the Free2Learn Close Protection students. It was the culmination of the whole training course with the  planning and escort of a real VIP a fantastic bonus to their final exercise. All the learners thoroughly enjoyed the experience and their performance.

Many thanks from the Free2Learn team  to Meg and we can all see why she is such a popular local MP.
