Ginger Nut are an amazing training provider. I learnt so much during the last year and half with the Business admin course. The content and tools provided was very insightful and helpful. My tutor, Zoe, supported me through the entire course, gave me feedback on multiple different areas and she was always available to help with anything I was unsure of. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend Ginger Nut training to anyone looking to start an apprenticeship

I have just received the results of my Level 4 Associate Project Management apprenticeship and I’m proud to say that I achieved the highest possible grade of Distinction! Working towards this qualification, whilst doing the day job has been no easy feat but has been incredibly rewarding. Not only have I closed this chapter as a newly qualified Project Manager, but I've also gained a newfound confidence that I will carry with me wherever my future leads me! I have never really conformed to the traditional academic style of learning and had always been put off pursuing any further education beyond what I absolutely had to do. However, having a great teacher who genuinely cared about the subject and the success of their students truly made the whole experience a breeze. A huge thank you to Jag at Ginger Nut Training ❤️

The business administrator course has been very helpful. It has allowed me to learn new skills which have helped strengthen my CV. My tutor Nick was very approachable and friendly and always responded quickly to any issues or concerns that I had. I would highly recommend applying for any apprenticeships which are partnered with Ginger Nut Training.

Ginger Nut Training are an amazing company. Since day one, I have been supported fully from the onboarding process to my day to day duties. My tutor is Anna, and I have to say having someone as thoughtful and genuinely interested in my progression as she is really boosts your motivation to do well and push yourself to achieve the best you can at everything. The webinars run by other tutors are also fantastic, thought-provoking and make a great way to keep up with recent happenings across several industries. Keep up the brilliant work, everyone!

I've really enjoyed my Level 3 Events apprenticeship with Ginger Nut Training. The content covered is really interesting and I like how much I'm encouraged to link back to the work I do in my day to day role. My tutor, Peter, is also excellent and I always feel I can go to him with an issues I may have, or just to have a chat about anything I'm unsure of. The feedback provided is also very useful and I really feel that he's routing for me to do well! I'd definitely recommend Ginger Nut to anyone looking to start an apprenticeship.

Communication is key and Ginger Nut are very good at it! Plenty of help is on offer and although the emails and information can feel a little overwhelming at first, you soon get into the hang of dealing with it. The only barrier is your own motivation, but that's part of distance learning; as long as your employer gives you the time to learn and a place where you won't be disturbed, then it shouldn't be a problem.
