Andrea Team Leading at Clearview Home Improvements “The apprenticeship has seamlessly integrated into my personal and work life and provided the flexibility I needed to embark on a journey of professional development. Having been out of formal training for a while, I was initially hesitant about starting an apprenticeship, however, it has proven to be the perfect solution, aligning effortlessly with my work and offering a comfortable and adaptable learning experience.”
