TESTIMONIALS

Amazing tutors and course content. I have recently completed my Level 2 Accountancy qualification with CT Skills, and every interaction with the staff was amazing, and it helped me achieve a distinction. The lessons were always interactive, and I felt comfortable asking for 1-2-1 help.

I've just completed my Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship, and throughout the course my tutor provided constant support. I always felt comfortable asking for help, no matter how small or trivial the question.

Completing my apprenticeship with CT Skills has been such a positive and rewarding experience. The team offered time, dedication, and continuous support, helping me progress and successfully complete my qualification. 

I always wanted a creative career but found it hard to break in without further study. Choosing an apprenticeship was the best decision, I gained hands-on experience and a qualification, giving me a strong start in the industry. 

Working with CT Skills to find and support apprentices has been an incredibly easy and positive experience! Thanks to their support, we’ve had four fantastic apprentices join our team.
