“We have been learners on our Employability Programme, we are now Lead Tutors”.

"Years later, I am still with Aspire and have progressed massively in my career, I have gained two qualifications in teaching and assessing: Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocational Achievement and Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training and have managed to progress within the company to becoming a Lead Tutor allowing me to pass on my knowledge and experience and support other tutors within the business”.

“Aspire advertised, shortlisted and pre-screen interviewed a number of Apprentice candidates before sending 6 finalists to us for a formal interview. We were that blown away by their enthusiasm and drive, we decided to employ 4 even though we had initially only planned to employ 2!”

“I enjoyed the discussions and presentations a lot as we were able to share best practice with colleagues”
