Quote
“I think the practical skills and that real world experience you get gives you a massive advantage compared to A-Level students as you learn real world skills and knowledge, not just the theory. T Level also gives you a massive confidence boost in teamwork and communication; that’s why I think I'm where I'm at now.”
