Damar Training

My assessor Andi Sheppard-Eccles has been amazing! He was very helpful throughout my apprenticeship, offering advice and guidance when I needed it. I managed to complete my qualification earlier than expected so I am very pleased and I managed to secure a job within the company! Thanks Andi!

After completing college and not wanting to go to University, I wasn't really sure what my next step in life would be. Thanks to Damar Training, I have not only managed to gain an additional qualification, I have managed to secure myself a new job in a far better environment than I could have ever pictured myself in.

With the help of my assessor, Andi Sheppard-Eccles, I was able to complete my apprenticeship earlier that what was expected. Andi was very supportive and always helped deal with any issues and problems which cropped up along the way. For a period of my apprenticeship, I felt like I had fallen too far behind and would never be able to catch up with my work load. Andi was superb in keeping my motivation at a high level, by discussing methods of time-management and setting clear goals, to help me complete my apprenticeship.

When Andi was unavailable, I was always able to pick up the phone or send an email to Damar Training, and I always received a positive, supportive response. I can't thank Andi and the staff at Damar enough for getting me to where I am today.

I would definitely recommend an apprenticeship to anybody who isn't totally sure of what they want to do in regards to work, College or University, and there isn't anybody better to help guide and support you through than Damar Training!

When I decided to drop out of college after just one year, I didn't really have a clue what I wanted to do. I came across Damar Training after looking for jobs and decided to try an apprenticeship, I submitted my details and found the process really easy. Within days I was contacted by the company who told me of the different opportunities I would be offered. I decided to take up the offer from Damar or a business administration apprenticeship as they took a lot of type to help me build my profile and was very convincing. Within a week they found me an apprenticeship which was round the corner from me with a fantastic company. I started my apprenticeship and was monitored and guided by the fantastic Debbie Barker, straight from the start I was given a lot of support and I knew exactly what I needed to do! I sat my exams, did the coursework necessary but had 1 exam left to do, I came into difficulties at home and give up on the idea of completing this apprenticeship (90%) of the way there, I automatically thought that Damar wouldn't be bothered of this... I was wrong. Debbie and Damar showed great support in getting me over the line and never give up on me, I would recommend Damar to anyone that's unsure of what there next steps are, they are simply superb!

I have enjoyed my time during the first year of my apprenticeship with Damar. I feel the support given for task completion was great and that the structure of the course has helped me to succeed within my first year. I would recommend this apprenticeship scheme for school leavers as I believe that the support given to balance day to day work and apprenticeship work helps to get the most out of both aspects.
