“I wanted to go to university, but then my A Levels didn’t go to plan, so I started looking elsewhere and when I saw this apprenticeship I just applied and I’ve loved it since. I’ve built good friendships and love the dental side too. This apprenticeship is ideal because if you find it easier to study from home, you can. There’s also plenty of opportunity to progress, and in the future, I would like to complete more courses and continue gaining qualifications." CHLOE
