As a funeral service manager I am responsible for the front of house operations, being a role model to colleagues and ensuring we maintain our high standards that we are renown for.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The level 5 management / senior management apprenticeship has been extremely good. I have learnt lots, way too much to go over (learning styles, finance, project management etc). I would highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to progress into management and further.
