Fast career-progression
I started this apprenticeship as I wanted the opportunity to progress further within my role. I would like to become a qualified Biomedical Scientist and this qualification will help me proceed onto completing a full degree.
The modules are flexible
Educ8 has supported me by giving me flexibility with my modules by being an independent learner. I have an amazing assessor who I able to get in touch with at any time if I need help or direction with any of my qualification.
Developing my skills
The part of the qualification that I have enjoyed the most so far is the Audit and Research Development module. I have been able to complete Health and Safety audits within my role and get involved in a research project which gained evidence towards this module.
Apprenticeships offer a good work life balance
I would recommend this apprenticeship to anyone who would like to gain a qualification as it is flexible. The support from Educ8 is fantastic and I am able to have a good work life balance whilst still working towards my Level 4 Health Care Science apprenticeship.
