So far on my apprenticeship I have been learning various different skills that I have been able to apply to my work. Having previous customer service experience has helped me a bit but learning about business processes and improving my knowledge has been a great experience and I hope to continue to gain the skills and grow as I learn” - Michael Quinn, Customer Service Level 3 apprentice, Kerridge Commercial Systems
