What do our apprentices say
Karen's support was invaluable during my course and in mentoring my team. I'm now guiding my admin through their Level 3 CIPD apprenticeship using skills I gained, especially coaching. I’ve learned to facilitate solutions rather than providing them, which has been transformative for us both.
