Testimonials & Reviews

“I studied the Business Administration Level 3 course and could not recommend the course, and the TAA enough. I had such a strong support system, especially from my Coach, who made the whole experience a whole lot easier and guided me towards receiving a distinction at the end! Thank you so much!” - Daisy Raine - Cornwall Council

“My experience with The Apprentice Academy was so positive. I had an amazing coach who was there for me every step of the way, able to answer any queries or concerns I had, she was so supportive and was a great help to me achieving a distinction grade. I would highly recommend The Apprentice Academy!” - Asia Browne - CACI Ltd

“The Apprentice Academy have helped me progress in all areas over the past year. I would like to thank my coach especially who has been so supportive throughout my course. She always looked for areas of improvement and helped me strive to be the best possible, resulting in me achieving a great overall result. I found the weekly calls, with numerous participants was great as I could communicate to others about their experiences, learning at the same time as the leaders of the call would encourage everyone to input their thoughts instead of just listening to one individual. I found this really improved my confidence. We would also go into breakout rooms throughout this course , improving my teamworking skills and confidence also. The Apprentice Academy have a great set up and I would definitely encourage anyone who is looking for an apprenticeship, to consider them. Thank you again the Apprentice Academy :)” - Olivia Few - IPG Health Medical Communications

“Massive thanks to my coach and her team for supporting me and getting me to the end. The whole experience was fantastic. Everyone was incredibly supportive and warm from day 1, the course is really well developed and the coaching structure is brilliant.. 100% recommend.” - Greg Whittaker - Car Finance 247

“The Apprentice Academy has been one of the best apprenticeship providers I’ve ever worked with. I recently completed a Level 3 Administration course, and the experience was outstanding. The combination of virtual sessions and one to one support gave me the opportunity to develop a strong understanding of all areas of business, preparing me to kickstart my career with my current employer. Throughout the course, I was supported by my coach who was exceptional. They were always available to answer any questions or concerns and consistently went the extra mile. Every training session delivered was engaging, warm, and professional. It’s a shame the apprenticeship didn’t last longer. I truly enjoyed the journey and the support provided. Highly recommended!.”- Tom Hopton - Schneider Electric
