Meet Learning Support Assistant Joanne

I can’t put it into words how much support James my tutor has given me. James has helped me adapt tasks to support my confidence issues and my anxiety.

 

Meet Sports Coach
Travis

I think everything I have learnt, participated in and achieved during my apprenticeship has been both extremely beneficial and motivating. When I finish my apprenticeship, I know that I will leave with a huge amount of skills I wouldn’t have gained anywhere else.

Meet Sports Coach
Reece

The apprenticeship training helps develop personal skills but also the way the apprenticeship is run you feel supported all the time without feeling like you are working on your own, making tasks and assignments easy to understand and complete.

Meet Sports Coach, Aaliyah

“When I finished sixth form, I knew I didn’t want to go to university. I didn’t want to be sitting in lectures for three years – I learn by doing, and so when I saw an advert for a PE apprentice, I went for it.”

Meet PE Teaching Assistant Liam

Following his Level 3 Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship, Liam plans to progress onto the Level 4 Sports Coach Apprenticeship.
