Testimonials

“

“I’ve always had a passion for sport, health and fitness and so the Personal Training Apprenticeship was an obvious choice for me! When you pick a course that you have a real interest in, it makes learning so much easier. It was really nice to be part of a group of like-minded people who all have similar interests and want to use the course to develop themselves professionally, while applying their new found knowledge in the workplace. An apprenticeship is perfect, as I’m able to train alongside my job and earn a wage at the same time.”

"I would 100% recommend my course! It has given me a huge insight into exactly what must be considered as a team leader but also from a managerial role. It has also led to some personal character development and understanding. By the time the course finishes I am certain that my company will have seen many improvements to my abilities."

“Exeter College has been really helpful in supporting us. We have regular meetings with our accessor and have been assured we can contact them at any time. Laura, our apprentice, has progressed really well and in a really short space of time has become a really valued member of our team. Her weekly sessions mean that she is learning the theory that goes alongside the practical work that she is doing with us in the office.”
