First time success thanks to Velocity!

I applied for a marketing apprenticeship through Velocity Academy and it couldn’t have gone any better. Incredibly helpful communication throughout, always knowing the situation and any updates. Huge shout out to Tom Crossland, as my recruitment manager he was brilliant. Made me feel very looked after, easy to contact when needed and explained everything clearly.

My fantastic experience with velocity academy and Tom Crossland

When applying to a data analyst apprenticeship I contacted the number provided and it put me into contact with Tom Crossland. Tom was amazingly helpful throughout every step of my application, he did a great job of mediating with the company for me and was very friendly and approachable which helped greatly with the interviews he did with me. Now I have just received my paperwork and am officially starting my apprenticeship within a month. I can’t thank Tom enough ! I’m excited to be learning new skills with velocity academy.

Highly Recommend Tom Crossland

Having just received an amazing job offer so quickly via Velocity Academy, I can highly recommend the team, in particular Tom Crossland. He was easy and quick to communicate with and secured multiple interviews for me so that the process of finding me a great apprenticeship was active and exciting. Thank you so much, looking forward to working with Velocity further as I move through my apprenticeship with my new employers.

Velocity Academy are fantastic

I couldn't have achieved my Apprenticeship qualification without the help of Velocity Academy, and most notably Andy Leeman. He was always on hand to help me and I really appreciate all the support he gave me! Thanks again!!

Highly Recommended.

I recently landed an apprenticeship through Velocity and just wanted to shed light on how streamlined, informative and helpful the process was. Specifically, my contact within Velocity, Tom Crossland, was extremely down to earth and easy to talk to, which made the process a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend Velocity to anyone seeking an apprenticeship.

Very simple and straightforward process!

Just started my apprenticeship last week, and have Velocity as my training provider. They helped me find an apprenticeship, that was nearby, almost straightaway.
I was provided help from Anya, she helped me and was so sweet and supportive throughout the whole process! She tried her best to get me to the best possible starting point in my career. And I am absolutely loving my apprenticeship so far.

Very much appreciate the help from Velocity! Highly recommend!

Great communication and Aided in me Securing the Perfect Apprenticeship

I reached out to velocity hoping for a multichannel marketing apprenticeship. When I learnt the local positions had been filled I was disheartened. Anya and Jordan were able to not only secure me an interview with the perfect local company I picked out, but also aided in the logistics of making an apprenticeship position for me there possible!! I couldn’t be happier with the apprenticeship position I was able to secure.

Super impressed with their service so far!! Their communication has always been prompt, answering any questions I have. I really felt they were aiming to find me the best apprenticeship possible. I feel very looked after and cared about.

Thanks Anya and Jordan !!

Highly Recommend!!

I started my apprenticeship in April and I’m so glad I have Velocity as my training provider. The lessons are really good with Emma, well structured and organised as well as my skills coach Murray who is also great and supportive! It’s everything you would want from a training provider, I would highly recommend!

10/10 so far so good!

My journey with Velocity has been great so far. From the beginning with my original tutor Andrew Leeman, he was really good and professional, always made our lessons a delight. My new tutor David Hutt is also up to level, always cheery, always has an answer and very knowledgeable. Charlotte Jones is an incredible Skills Coach, i look forward to our coaching calls as she makes them feel professional but casual which is what everyone wants, i enjoy our little chats and catch ups and also getting to know where i am within the new week.

Amazing from Velocity!

Amazing & Supportive Team Throughout my apprenticeship

I have been completing my digital marketing apprenticeship with Velocity and they have been nothing but helpful and supportive throughout! I have learnt so much throughout my course, from lessons to 121's with my skills coach. The team are really kind and considerate and want nothing more than for you to do well. I began my journey within an agency and then switched jobs half way through - the Velocity team were really supportive and made the transition seamless meaning my apprenticeship wasn't effected. Leading up to my final exam, the team around me were amazing at ensuring I had everything I needed, checking all the boxes and preparing appropriately! A massive thank you to Murray, Scott and Emma for everything you have done :)
