Stacey's kind heartedness and professional approach helped me to stay and complete the course. This support has not only helped me to feel a little more confident in my learning needs, but has also helped me to believe in myself in other areas of my life.

Healthcare Provider Apprentice

Varsity Training are an excellent training provider and I have no hesitation in saying they are by far the best provider we have ever used. They treat all their learners as individuals and pay attention to the diversity between learners and always respond accordingly to any issues that may arise.

NHS Foundation Trust Employer

The knowledge and skills of trainers is a strength of Varsity Training. They have excellent subject knowledge and work flexibly with the leaders in order to meet the developing needs of the school. Through our joined work we have been able to improve teacher subject knowledge and planning which has resulted in improved pupil outcomes.

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Apprentice

Thank you for believing in me and giving me the confidence to believe in myself. I wouldn't have got through this apprenticeship without your guidance, patience and a friendly face whenever I needed.

Healthcare Provider Apprentice

Karen was excellent as a trainer, she created a very welcoming environment that enabled us all to speak up and share our experiences honestly. The topic was really thought provoking and rather than being about ticking boxes, this felt genuine, realistic and true to life.

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Apprentice

I really enjoyed gaining practical experience in the classroom and being able to put what I learned into practice. The support from my employer and training provider was helpful, and I developed my confidence, communication skills and understanding of how to support children with different learning needs.
