Level 2 Apprenticeship

What first attracted you to the programme?

My ops manager had strongly recommended me to complete this programme to put me on the first steps in becoming a Tool Hire Manager.

How have you been supported throughout the programme and beyond?

My coach has always been an email, message or phone call away if I had any questions and very efficient in arranging my maths and English tutoring. The webinars were clear and informative and the branch always allocated the time for me to complete this despite being in an extremely busy branch which won regional branch of the year. I also have a daughter who is 3 with specialist needs and my coach and functional skills tutor always asked if I was okay or needed additional support or time and been extremely understanding.

What’s your favourite thing about being on an Apprenticeship programme with LEAP?

Favourite thing has been the webinars as you get to discuss the programme with other apprentices so you don't feel alone and supported and hearing other journeys.

How has / will the programme set you up for success in your career?

The programme has prepared to take on the next level. It has given me the drive to keep growing and it will always help improve me as a colleague and improve branch sales.

How has / will the programme help you personally?

The programme has helped me with my Maths and English which is used in everyday life and my role of course. It gives me confidence going forward.

What has been your proudest moment since starting your Apprenticeship?

My proudest moment was when I got my end point assessment result which was 47/50 in the written exam and I got a distinction covering all 10 distinction marks.
