Before I began my apprenticeship, I didn’t even know what a hydraulic power unit was – now I work with them every day.

I wanted to learn a trade that would stay with me for life whilst also gaining a qualification, and with my apprenticeship I can do both.

I would recommend an apprenticeship to anyone. You earn whilst you learn and become responsible for your own future. It is a great opportunity.

I wanted a hands-on learning experience that would also give me a qualification and allow me to earn straight away.

This course is preparing me for the future because I want to own my own nursery that specialises in young children with SEND.

I really recommend the T Level in Childcare & Education because you get experience working with children and learn a lot of practical skills.

My advice to other girls wanting to get into Engineering is to just do it. Don’t be shy, be confident.

You learn something new on the course everyday – I get to use different machines and tools such as lathes, pilar drills and all the safety equipment.

I really enjoy the Health & Social Care course because the tutors and people in my class are supportive.

My dream job is to be a Health & Social Care Teacher so I’d like to study at university after College.

I chose the study this course to further my career and develop my driving skills. I have refined my skills across the board, particularly in positioning of the vehicles.
