FEEDBACK QUOTES

It's been an incredible experience having our apprentice join us and complete their apprenticeship alongside their work. I’m confident they will be a valuable asset to both my team and the company. They are the perfect fit!

CT Skills has allowed me to follow my dreams and access one of the most recognised qualifications within accountancy. I would recommend an apprenticeship to anyone as it provides you with the skills for the world of work and a bright future!

Amazing tutors and course content. I have recently completed my Level 2 Accountancy qualification with CT Skills, and every interaction with the staff was amazing, and it helped me achieve a distinction. The lessons were always interactive, and I felt comfortable asking for 1-2-1 help.

With your help, I've achieved my goal and earned my qualification! I’m so thankful for the time and effort you put into teaching me.

I've just completed my Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship, and throughout the course my tutor provided constant support. I always felt comfortable asking for help, no matter how small or trivial the question.

I’ve just completed my Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship with CT Skills. This experience has helped me grow personally and professionally, and I’m grateful for the support from my trainer.

Diabetes is very common in my immediate and extended family and I did not realise the severity and far reaching impact of this condition until undertaking the course.

My assessor has been incredibly supportive in helping me fully understand my childcare course. She has also provided great assistance with maths by arranging extra sessions with a colleague, and Rachel kindly offered an additional session as well.

Completing my Early Years Educator Level 3 apprenticeship has been an amazing experience. My assessor has been incredibly supportive, offering clear guidance and thorough help with all my units.

I’ve completed my Level 5 Early Years Lead Practitioner course, which has greatly strengthened my leadership skills and supported my career progression. 

It has given me a wider appreciation of counselling and given me the knowledge needed in counselling which will help me in my future goal of joining the police.

It has given me the confidence to develop my business. It has also affirmed what I already knew which is really helpful for my confidence.

Completing my apprenticeship with CT Skills has been such a positive and rewarding experience. The team offered time, dedication, and continuous support, helping me progress and successfully complete my qualification. 

CT Skills is an outstanding organisation that truly delivers results. I not only achieved my qualification, but my tutor also shared invaluable knowledge and motivation that will benefit me for years to come.

I’ve had a really positive experience with CT Skills and have always felt supported throughout my apprenticeship.

Great awareness on cyber threat, prevention, its identification and data protection standards and channels of regulation and notification.

I’ve recently completed the CIH Level 3 apprenticeship, which has been an amazing experience. CT Skills provided outstanding support throughout, helping me grow and bring value to my employer.

I’ve just completed my Level 3 Housing Management Apprenticeship thanks to the incredible support from my assessor and CT Skills. They understood my dyslexia and guided me through assignments, even using discussions to help me succeed.

Thrilled to have completed my Level 3 Housing Management Apprenticeship! Huge thanks to my amazing assessor for her constant support and guidance. CT Skills have been fantastic, I’d highly recommend them!

We were delighted with the high standard of candidates put forward by CT Skills for our Business Administration apprenticeship role. We received four strong applications, two of which were truly outstanding - making the final decision a difficult one!

Completing the HR Support Level 3 Apprenticeship has helped me grow both personally and professionally. It gave me a strong foundation in HR, boosted my confidence in areas such as recruitment and employee relations, and enhanced my communication and problem-solving skills.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with CT Skills over the past year while completing my HR Support Level 3 apprenticeship. The support I’ve received has been exceptional, my assessor has gone above and beyond to help me achieve my goals throughout the year.

A very helpful and informative course that will help me in my work life. Also, it's the first time I've done a course at home, and I really enjoyed it although it was more work than I originally anticipated.

I joined as a Business Admin apprentice and was excited to be able to support people into apprenticeships and I’m still here for this reason. I enjoy offering people advice when starting or changing their careers, also I love everyone I work with! Everyone is so friendly and supportive.

It’s a company that looks after its staff through its values, recognition and reward. This team make a real difference and improve lives.

I joined many years ago and a big part of my decision was the people who were already here. And to be honest that’s probably part of why I’ve stayed so long too. And the flexibility I now have due to working from home is a massive positive.

As an employer, we strongly embrace learning opportunities for our people. Supporting apprenticeships has been instrumental in strengthening the learning culture we are proud of.

Our apprentice has been instrumental in asset creation for the business, she has been present in workshops and been contributing well with ideas and has been undertaking marketing tasks such as competitor comparisons.

I always wanted a creative career but found it hard to break in without further study. Choosing an apprenticeship was the best decision, I gained hands-on experience and a qualification, giving me a strong start in the industry. 

I’ve just completed my Level 3 Marketing Apprenticeship! Huge thanks to my tutor for her engaging workshops and guidance, which boosted my confidence and skills. I’m excited for future opportunities and highly recommend apprenticeships for personal and professional growth.

I found this course very insightful and gained a lot of knowledge about mental health. It was really interesting and I enjoyed doing the course.

Someone would love being part of this team because it’s collaborative, supportive, and driven by a shared commitment to learner success. There’s a strong sense of mutual respect, open communication, and a genuine passion for making a difference.

Learners and apprentices develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to make progress in their careers.

Tutors meet the specific needs of learners and apprentices well. For example, where they identify that apprentices would benefit from more direct experience of a topic at work, they arrange for apprentices to shadow relevant colleagues.

Tutors work particularly well with employers to ensure that they teach topics that match closely to apprentices' development at work.

Tutors are subject specialists with highly relevant industry experience. They plan the courses they teach well.

Senior leaders have high aspirations for learners and apprentices. They make appropriate and timely changes to the curriculum, which ensures that they continue to offer courses that are most useful to learners and apprentices.

Learners and apprentices rightly feel safe during their studies. They identify a positive and supportive culture at CT Skills.

Learners and apprentices demonstrate vastly increased levels of knowledge and skills as a result of their studies.

I really enjoyed my course and I had great support from my tutor. This is the first course I have done for a long time but getting back into studying has given me an incentive to do more.

Going on to achieve the Level 3 qualification gave me a sense of pride and it furthered my understanding of Mental Health and working within mental health.  I can now figure out how I can support others alongside tools I already have in my experience bank.

Got a wider knowledge base of infection prevention and control, really great course.

The course has given me insight into a potential career change course, and was in an easy to follow format.

It was great to achieve the qualification, I feel this has increased my chances of securing a position in coding.

Helpful to have a better understanding of learning difficulties to increase my knowledge and inform my work.

It has helped me understand how to be mindful of symptoms in children and will help me as my son grows up.

Safeguarding knowledge has increased. The staff members are more aware now!

By being more informed around autism my confidence has increased and I can see things in my clients which I was unaware of before.

Has helped me to decide about going further with a counselling qualification.

Refreshed and updated my knowledge on understanding behaviour that challenges; it’s had a positive impact at work.

I have grown my knowledge in the customer service and I can use this to positively impact my work and my team who work in front of house.

It was a fantastic course and I would recommend it for anyone wanting to get in to cyber security.

It has given me the knowledge that I was missing. I am now able to give information to parents and their network and strategies to help them. I am also able to pass on that knowledge to my colleagues.

Very Insightful course with plenty of lessons & knowledge to learn about coding.

It's made me want to pursue a business administration degree then probably an MBA after.

I can apply for a team leader position now and I have improved my skills!

It will be helpful in my employed and voluntary roles and has encouraged me to consider further studies in this area.

I have found that I know how to listen more deeply and effectively in both my job role as a support worker and my life in general / personal life.

I now have a better understanding about mental health and how to approach it. I discovered that there is a lot of support available for people with mental health conditions. I feel I can now confidently help, support, and signpost colleagues.

I am caring for an elderly family member that has the start of dementia and it's helped me understand the changes in him and the reasoning why.

It has helped me understand how to be mindful of children and will help me as my son grows up.

The mentoring I received from my tutor was truly invaluable, I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer. I’ll really miss her guidance and our conversations as I move forward from this apprenticeship.

I’m so grateful for Lesley’s incredible support during my apprenticeship. She helped tailor my CV, secured interviews, and encouraged me every step of the way. I wouldn’t be here without her dedication and guidance.

This apprenticeship has had a hugely positive impact on my confidence at work and even helped me overcome imposter syndrome.

As a business in a dynamic growth phase, we’ve found great value in offering apprenticeships to ambitious individuals who want to grow alongside us.

Working with CT Skills to find and support apprentices has been an incredibly easy and positive experience! Thanks to their support, we’ve had four fantastic apprentices join our team.

The support from my tutor was outstanding. They were always just an email away and quick to respond with guidance whenever I needed it. I’m so grateful for their help throughout this journey.

I’ve recently completed my Level 3 Teaching Assistant course, and I’ve truly loved the experience. Over the past two years, I’ve learned so much and my confidence has grown enormously.

I’ve recently completed my Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification and received fantastic help and support from CT Skills.

This apprenticeship has supported both my personal and professional growth, giving me the tools to become a stronger leader, the knowledge to support my team more effectively, and the confidence to keep progressing in my career. 

Completing the Team Leader / Supervisor Level 3 Apprenticeship with CT Skills has been a fantastic experience. The staff were supportive throughout, providing clear guidance and regular feedback to help me progress.

Completing the Level 3 Leadership Apprenticeship with CT Skills has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I initially enrolled to gain a formal qualification to support my role, but I’ve achieved so much more.
