So far, I have thoroughly enjoyed my Apprenticeship at Forvis Mazars. Digital Marketing has grown from an interest to a passion for me, I enjoy the variation, communication, collaboration and creativity that it entails. I am excited to see where my journey as a Digital Marketer at Forvis Mazars evolves to! Digital Marketing Apprentice, Forvis Mazars

What surprised me most about my apprenticeship was the fact that you get into client work very quickly under the responsibility of a manager. Hasna, Forvis Mazars

Reviews from our student community…
Our reviews are everything. Why? Because they’re written by students just like you. They’re so good, we use them to create our Top Apprenticeship Employers.
I enjoy my programme to a good extent. I like learning new skills, especially gaining confidence in driving and understanding the role. The training is supportive, and I feel I’m developing both professionally and personally. Level 2 Bus Driver, Go-Ahead London
My confidence has grown a lot when speaking with suppliers and colleagues, and I’ve become more comfortable taking responsibility for tasks. Overall, I feel much more capable and independent now compared to when I first started. Level 3 Building Surveyor Apprentice, Historic Royal Palaces
The organisation is excellent, there are regular workshops, work is always uploaded into SmartAssessor in advance, and the progress reviews are regularly booked in. There is also a regular drop-in session to ask for support, although if we need support outside of this, that is totally fine too! Level 4 UI Lead/UX Designer, TUI UK & Ireland
I genuinely like practising law at Pinsent Masons. The work is immensely satisfying since it is intellectually fascinating, offers the chance to work on complex issues, and has the potential to positively affect the lives of clients. Level 6 Lawyer, Pinsent Masons LLP
Transport for London (TfL) keeps the nation’s capital moving. They also offer some super interesting apprenticeships. Laura and Joe give you eight reasons why you should consider doing an apprenticeship at TfL.
I was under the impression it would be largely theoretical knowledge that we're learning. But it turns out I'm part of the teams going out on fault response and helping to fix faults as they happen. Joe, TfL

A Day in the Life…
So you’ve read what it’s like. Why not see it too? Meet Lily (a marketing apprentice at Amazon), Rhyon (an apprentice at the BBC), Saf (a software engineering degree apprentice) and Amina (a law apprentice). Here’s what they get up to on a typical day in the office.
If it’s an engineering career you’re looking for, Amey could be a great fit for you. Jay and Lydia talk all about their time at Amey, what it’s like to be an apprentice and how much doing an apprenticeship has transformed their careers.
I'm really glad I did an apprenticeship. I'm getting really valuable work experience at work, but I'm also studying to get my degree at university, and I'm getting paid to do it as well, which is great. Lydia, Amey

Nathan Advanced Retail Apprentice, John Lewis PartnershipA few years ago, if someone told me that I would be delivering meetings and making speeches on behalf of one of Britain’s most successful retailers, I would have been shocked. The number of achievements I have made through the John Lewis Apprenticeship Scheme are endless and I have met amazing people that have inspired me to push myself to the best of my ability.
