Business/Personal Improvement
‘I thoroughly enjoy what I do and being able to learn practical skills linked to my job role is perfect. I feel I’ve developed a whole new range of skills that enable me to deliver a more efficient service to our customers and fellow colleagues and therefore give something back to my employer for investing in me’.
Laura Freeman, NVQ in Logistics Operations Management

‘Apprenticeships are an excellent idea! They enable us to shape up the skills of our employees in the way that suits our business. Apprenticeships don’t only lead to nationally recognised qualifications they also help apprentices build their confidence and serve as a proof of knowledge that they can do their job. All in all, skilled employees help to raise standards within a company itself and so I’d encourage more employers to sign up for apprenticeships’.
Cathy Kirk, Customer Services Manager, DHL Freight.
