Pete and Vicky both bring an incredible depth of knowledge from their backgrounds in the motor trade. Their hands-on experience and passion for the industry shine through, and Pete’s recent Mini project has become a talking point with our apprentices. Pete makes sure students are not only learning the theory but also gaining the practical skills that we value.

They really go the extra mile to support their students. Many of our apprentices come straight from school, and starting something like this can feel like a significant step. But Pete and Vicky create such a supportive and professional environment – you can genuinely see the confidence growing in the learners as they settle in and find their feet.

If you're looking for a course that truly guides you into the motor trade, with a tutor who genuinely cares and knows the industry inside out, then this is the place to be.

The blend of classroom learning and on-the-job training ensures that the apprentices are knowledgeable and capable of applying their skills in real-world scenarios. This has significantly benefited our firm, as the apprentices quickly become valuable team members, contributing to various projects and tasks with confidence and competence. Moreover, the support from Kendal College has been exceptional

The regular reviews help ensure that the apprentices are progressing well and meeting the required standards. We have seen our apprentices grow and develop into skilled professionals, and many have continued their careers with us after completing their apprenticeships. 

We highly recommend Kendal College's apprenticeship programs to any employer looking to invest in the future of their workforce. The quality of training and the dedication of the staff at Kendal College are truly commendable.

I feel like I know exactly how Connor is doing at any point in time, and I am updated regularly on his progress. I also know that if we had an issue, I have a point of contact whom I’d be happy to discuss it with. Joanne has been brilliant from the outset, she’s so enthusiastic, which is great for Connor, and for me!

The meetings we have are timely and useful, and we both come away from them feeling very positive. They also help to give us a focus as we always have to offer up something we’d like to have covered by our next meeting, and we make sure we cover this in Connor’s day-to-day role.

I’ve been down the apprenticeship route before when I worked in other businesses, but I have not had the relationship that we have with Kendal College. Connor is excelling both in the workplace and in his studies, and I know that the College has played a valuable part in this. Thank you!
