The Project Manager Apprenticeship has been really helpful in providing me with specific project management tools that I can apply to my work. Prior to the apprenticeship I was implementing some of the practice informally, however it has given me the opportunity to formalise my way of working which has made it a lot more efficient. This has been especially helpful throughout Covid-19 as my project work has changed and the skills I have learnt have allowed me to effectively adapt to this.

I thought that apprenticeships were for people just out of high school or college, I didn’t really think that apprenticeship were for the (slightly) more mature students like myself. Even though it was hard work at times, the knowledge and experience gained during the apprenticeship has been invaluable and will stand me in good stead in my future career.
