How has completing your apprenticeship made a difference to you in your current role and looking to future prospects?

“I am now confident enough and eager to start the Level 3 Health & Social Care Apprenticeship, which would be another step closer to achieving my goal to study nursing at University and one day to become a registered nurse”

Did you face any difficulties during the apprenticeship? How did you overcome this?

“During the apprenticeship, alongside other commitments and responsibilities, I struggled to manage my time but my Assessor supported me when I was feeling the pressure which gave me the confidence to carry on and succeed. This has prepared me for the Level 3 Health and Social Care Apprenticeship.

Although there have been many times that I have struggled to juggle work and my Diploma, whenever I’ve asked for help my assessor supported me 100% and gave me the confidence and encouragement I have needed to get me through this course. I am now looking forward to doing my level 3 in Health & Social Care

Any advice to somebody thinking of doing an apprenticeship?

 “To absolutely go for it, it was very enjoyable to learn and develop and is a big achievement once it is completed.”
