Yes. This apprenticeship, regardless of your background, will teach you new things and help you learn new skills

I enjoy the apprenticeship a lot. There is a lot of work that you have to do towards your qualifications and can sometimes be stressful. However, with good management, it is easily done and enjoyable.

It is quite well organised. However there has been some slip ups and disorganised sections which can be understandable with the amount of apprentices and the magnitude of the company.

Support is easily found and happily provided. There are people you can ask for help and also mental health officers.
