Quote from our current Level 3 Apprentice:
‘In May of last year, I embarked on my Level 3 Business Admin journey at Building Self-Belief. Since then, this charitable organisation has not only assisted me in cultivating self-confidence but has also ignited within me a profound passion for media, advertising, and marketing.
I am thrilled by the prospect of not only continuing my affiliation with the charity after the end of this apprenticeship but also advancing to the role of a Level 4 Marketing Management apprentice.’
