Lydia goes from Strength to Strength and gains a post with a 10K pay increase, well done! With an Apprenticeship there really is no limit.

I started my journey with Achievement Training in 2018 as an Apprentice in the Business Development and Admissions department. This opportunity came at the perfect time for me, as I really wanted to return to education and gain new qualifications to help me progress in my future career. I came to ATL to get some careers advice and following sending them my CV and meeting the team, they offered me the chance to attend a trial day. I started my apprenticeship in June and spent the next year working to gain my Level 3 Business Administration Apprenticeship qualification.  I could never have succeeded in gaining a Distinction in my apprenticeship, without the support of my line manager, Tracy. Tracy has 20 years of experience and working as her apprentice taught me all of the skills and knowledge I would need in my future career. Having a teacher like Tracy also gave me the confidence to believe in my own abilities. 

Since finishing my apprenticeship in the summer of 2019, I have gone on to become a full time member of staff within the Business Development department, taking on new challenges and responsibilities. Working alongside some amazing people including Tracy, Penelope and Charlotte and the whole Admin team has boosted my confidence even more and I really benefited from staying and gaining as much experience as I could after completing my Apprenticeship. The last three years have given me a great foundation to build upon for my future and I cannot thank the amazing team at Achievement Training enough for the start they have given me. I am now moving on to a new challenge and cannot wait to see what the future has in store.
