My name is Stephanie and I am 22. I decided to apply for an apprenticeship because I wanted to change my career and felt that it would be a good way to gain experience of working in an office as well as gaining recognised qualifications.
I attended training courses and workshops organised by my employer and completed coursework based on my job role.
What qualifications did you get?
- NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) Level 2 in Business and Administration
- Level 2 Award in Administration
- Clait Plus Level 2
- Key Skills Level 2 in Communication
- Key Skills Level 1 in Application of Number
If you know what you want to achieve and take advantage of the training on offer, it’s a great stepping stone.
I think it can be challenging to juggle your workload and your NVQ work but with a supportive manager, planning ahead and good time management you can overcome this.
The chance to meet lots of new people and gain new skills that would further my career.
I would say go for it! I really enjoyed my apprenticeship. It’s a great way to learn new skills and gain on the job experience as well as the chance to meet some great people.
