I really liked how Aptem shows everything you need to know on an easy to access website, I actively logged on to see if I needed any more training time to complete modules or if I had been given any more work to do.

My employer helped me in every way I needed from time off the floor for learning to supporting me during my end point assessments.

This qualification has broadened my understanding of Hospitality and I use the knowledge I have gained everyday.

There are always activities at my workplace, the most recent one being the McDonald’s Football Cup which different stores create football teams and try to win.
