My experience

My apprenticeship has been a difficult journey, with struggles in my personal life delaying the finish of my course. Alongside my original tutor, Scott, leaving the company, at times, it feels like I will never complete my apprenticeship. But with my new Tutor, Lee Smith, I've started feeling more confidence in my skills, and he has offered me so much support and advice in the short time he has been my tutor. And for once, I feel like I can finally get this done.

Lee Smith

Started my apprenticeship in September and Lee Smith has been a really good teacher and coach. He is really nice and goes into a lot of depth when in class, we even do quizzes which make the classes more fun. I am looking forward to continuing my apprenticeship with Velocity Academy and Lee as my coach and teacher.

Helpful workers and kind coaches

I am an apprentice at velocity academy and both Nigel Buck and Lee Smith have been very helpful when it comes to information or feedback for me. If I require something even at the end of a Friday where I assumed people would be shutting off for the weekend, I still managed to get my questions answered and problems resolved really could not ask for more.

Lee Smith and Nigel Buck

Lee Smith and Nigel Buck are amazing tutors and have helped me massively in developing my IT skills. They're very helpful and always go the extra mile to ensure I understand something I'm not sure about. I would definitely recommend Velocity Academy because of how great their service is

10/10 Apprenticeship Company!

10/10 Apprenticeship Company!

I had such a struggle trying to land an apprenticeship, and multiple companies were just not interested in giving any kind of support, and never got back to me!

Velocity on the other hand has been amazing! I was able to get a phone call, online interview and then a face-to-face interview within a matter of 2 weeks. Both Tom and Jordan especially, were great and kept me updated through my whole application process via phone call, and email. I'm now just upcoming my third month of my apprenticeship and my regular training calls with Emma Serventi are really great! Emma is such a kind, lovely and supportive tutor and gets everything sorted for you, and is always a message away if you need her! I'm really grateful to have been given this opportunity, and I will further recommend Velocity to anyone in the future! Thank you to everyone at Velocity!

Apprenticeship Review

I have only recently started my Apprenticeship but I am loving it so far! Emma is fab- she is so supportive and I feel really comfortable in asking her any questions. She always gives amazing feedback that really acknowledges the effort I put in! I am developing lots of skills through my Apprenticeship such as time management, organisation and communication skills which are all vital. I would recommend an Apprenticeship to anyone who wants to develop essential skills whilst also working in a working environment. Thank you Emma for making my so far Apprenticeship so enjoyable!

Velocity Training is very engaging and supportive

I've been an apprentice with Velocity for over a month now and I'm very grateful to have David Hutt as my teacher, Charlotte Jones as my coach and Thomas Crossland for helping me get my apprenticeship. These 3 have played a massive role in helping me have a really engaging and enjoyable experience working with velocity and I would like to say thank you to them for the support they have given me over the last month.

Brilliant Experience with Thomas Crossland

Velocity, and specifically Thomas Crossland were amazing in helping me to secure an apprenticeship. His help liaising with the apprenticeship provider and myself was always top notch, and was always available, keeping me up to date and answering any questions I had throughout the process. Massive thanks, and would highly recommend.

Amazing for those looking to hire an apprentice!

I recently hired an apprentice through Velocity Academy. The process was really quick and easy, it took less than 4 weeks for us to settle on the correct candidate.

Thomas Crossland and Elliott Lightowler worked with us every step of the way making sure we were happy and that the candidates were the right fit for our business. They were both a pleasure to work with.

We've had our apprentice with us for a week so far and the support from Velocity has been amazing in the onboarding process. Massive thanks to both Tom and Elliott!

My experience was comfortable

My experience was comfortable, streamlined and simple.
Throughout the process I had experienced some unforeseen incident, despite short notice both the specialist from velocity academy and the hiring agent were incredibly responsive, understanding and fair. It felt like those I was in contact with really went above and beyond in order to prepare me with the best possible information.
