What our learners say
“The biggest advantage I’ve found with an apprenticeship is just getting straight into work, not worrying about university or going to lectures – just going straight in, getting that experience, and getting me where I want to go faster. My colleagues were so accommodating, they didn’t see me as a nuisance, and they all helped me get along with my apprenticeship for all the different areas I needed.”
