"For me, it wasn’t so much about the facts and information that were acquired during the course, although they have proved very useful; it was also about the skills that were developed. Law is a course that develops skills such as analysing, problem-solving, time management … these skills go and have proved valuable in all areas of life, from business to housework.”

"The great thing about the Apprenticeship was that you had a tutor who followed you up on a weekly basis and you were accountable to them… also had an excellent employer who was following me up and checked on my progress. I’d certainly recommend someone taking the Apprenticeship route for their postgrad – it’s something that I enjoyed and I found that the more you put into it, the more you got out of it. It’s been a great support to me through my career so far.”

“I would encourage every student to do further studies. When I left school and went into the workplace I did CIMA, which helped me to broaden my outlook as to the business world and gave me insight into all areas of business, which proved hugely beneficial. I decided to do it myself and then my employer kindly paid me back for it. Then since, he’s invested in further ABM courses, for myself and for others in the company, and we’ve definitely proved the benefit as a business, of having trained young persons who are able to make decisions that are based on understanding rather than gut feel.”

“The course was compact and well-timed for one year. It was very good to have a tutor to keep you on track, and to come every month to keep you to task. Babington had a good system and you knew you could get a response if you needed to … there were also varied ways to do an assessment – recorded voice or essay-based; this suited me well.”

“I started on postgraduate studies straight after leaving school, and I don’t regret it. It is a lot of theory and a whole lot of discipline needed to get it done, but you get a very valuable insight into every department of the business – something which is important not only for business owners, but also for every staff member.”

“We are now coming to the close of our Customer Service [Apprenticeship] course. This has given us a brilliant insight into customer service and is highly relevant to our job role as internal account managers. We would recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their skill set within customer services. This has helped us understand how many aspects of our job includes the importance of communication with our customers. In this course we have a 20% off the job element – this is helped by watching a UBT webinar every Wednesday.”

“I have now also passed the final CIMA module, so I have completed the course! Thanks very much for your support and help through it all, I really feel that I have benefitted from pursuing postgraduate studies, and am keen to encourage everyone to get on with it, do it thoroughly and keep up the momentum to complete it as soon as you can!”

“Having got on board with Babington College to start an Administration Apprenticeship Course (AABA), they were brilliant right from the start. The tutor was very friendly and an excellent help in my learning. The course was very well structured and well-suited to kick-start my career in admin in the workplace. As well as giving me confidence & skills in the workplace, it also gave me a desire to continue learning in a regular way and apply the learning I had to the role I played in the business.”
