Proud success stories, real learners, lasting impact
Hear from learners themselves about their experiences and journeys, demonstrating how powerful apprenticeships can be in launching and accelerating a successful career.
“I’ve really enjoyed my apprentice journey and found it challenging however with the support of Access especially my tutor. Dave put full commitment into me and went above and beyond to offer his support, having this I have now completed my EPA and I am now fully qualified. I’m very grateful for what Dave has taught me and he’s made my journey a special one.”
“I found that the apprenticeship suited me and our organisational needs more so than a degree because of the flexibility I had with my learning. I received first class training from experts who were passionate about their field. As a result of my apprenticeship, we can now look at where we can become more efficient as a business to improve our processes and procedures and to develop the quality of our work.
“I chose the level 4 qualification in Project Management as I am involved in project work daily but would like to work towards becoming a project manager and I feel that this qualification will help with this. I am already using the knowledge and skills from the course in my daily work and I have been able to be more involved in some of the management of projects as a result of this.”
“It has allowed me to get that link between the theory & the practical side of Project Management. The day release sessions also allow for discussion within the group where we can share best practice”
“My apprenticeship at Access Training has been a game-changer, not just for my career but also for my personal growth.”
“Really enjoyed the interactive elements of this course; it was clear, easy to understand and well presented. Because of my course I can now enable myseld to implement better ways of working.”
“I wanted to gain a qualification in something I was interested in, whilst also gaining experience and knowledge of the job and being paid. I have thoroughly enjoyed my apprenticeship experience from start to finish, it really opened my eyes to the world of HR and how an organisation works internally. To anyone thinking about doing an apprenticeship, I’d say definitely go for it! It won’t be something you regret.”
“The combination of theory-based learning and applying it within a workplace is an invaluable way of learning.”
“The trainer was quick to ask me what my training outcomes would be and tailored large parts of the course to my needs.”
“I chose to do the apprenticeship not only to support me in being the best in my current role but also for career progression opportunities. Now I have gained much more knowledge in key knowledge areas, I feel I’m ready to take on more responsibility within my organisation”
“I’m grateful for the support and resources provided, and I encourage anyone seeking to upskill in cloud technology to take advantage of the fantastic programs offered by these institutions.”
“It was well structured and took us through the steps logically. It was good to learn – and to understand – the data source, transforming the data and finally to build live dashboards. I liked that it was friendly and interactive and I was not afraid to ask questions.”
“I was nervous about going back to study for my Level 3 Team Leader apprenticeship but I was quickly put to ease by the professional and friendly staff at Access Training.”
“The Accounting Level 2 course is going really well. The knowledge I am receiving from the classes is being easily applied at work – especially journals, VAT & costing. The AAT website has been particularly helpful when it comes to learning the units as well as what is taught during the lessons. The class works well together with us all contributing & I think that is down to your teaching. Overall great!”
