My trainer spent two years supporting me in every single way possible, and I am so grateful for her. She never once doubted my abilities to reach my goals, and supported me throughout.

Since starting the apprenticeship, I'm much more confident in myself and the way I communicate. I'm naturally quite a shy person, and I think the apprenticeship has helped me to overcome that.

Most people think that apprenticeships are just for younger people and those new to job roles, but that just isn’t true. The environment is really supportive, and I can get through to the apprenticeships team and my tutors by email, phone, or face-to-face.
