Hear from our apprentices
Danielle – Level 3 Early Years Educator Apprentice
“It has been hard work, but I’m so glad it’s paid off. I have two children at home, and a house to run so it’s been tough juggling everything but the support I’ve had from my workplace, my tutor and my family has been amazing.
“I don’t think I would have got through it without Louise, my tutor, she has been a great support.
“It was a little bit daunting coming back into education as an adult, but once I got started it was fine. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it helped me realise this is exactly what I want to do.
“I’d tell other Apprentice’s to keep strong and never give up, all of the hard work is worth it.
“I’m so proud of myself for completing my qualification. I’ve learnt how strong I am, and that I am capable of doing anything I set my mind to. I’ve realised my worth and know I can achieve anything now, so I’m excited for my future.”
We’re part of six community-based colleges
