Level 2 Apprentice to Room Leader
“My experience as an apprentice has gone really well. After I finished school, I began my level 2 qualification. I had lots of support from Amy throughout and she really helped me to gain the knowledge I needed. After I had got my level 2 qualification, I started my level 3. There was times I found it very tough and overwhelming as it was a lot of work to keep up with but I am so glad to say I am now level 3 qualified! This has allowed me to take on the job of being a room leader with Devon Nurseries and progress in my career. I have gained lots of skills and knowledge whilst being an apprentice, such as being able to learn how to support children’s development and early education and also how to give them the best possible start.”
