Hear what our apprentices have to say about our apprenticeships.
Learning with MBKB and having the best tutor, made it even more promising as I had someone that ensured I was able to grasp all the varying aspects of payroll and pushed me to continuously be and do my best.
Djeny Matuasilva from AS Robins LLP
“Coming into the world of payroll was something very new yet exciting.
Being given the opportunity to gain the knowledge, experience and understanding of payroll through an apprenticeship meant that I had another occasion to not only get back into education and gain more credentials but to also be in a career in which I could continuously grow.

Amanda McGuire from Icknield Primary School
“My name is Amanda McGuire. I am the Early Years Lead Practitioner and SEND support at Icknield Primary school, working in the Deaf Provision. I chose this apprenticeship as, after qualifying as an NNEB in 1987, it is the first course that has supported appropriate professional development past a level 3 whilst working in a full-time role.
This apprenticeship has given me the opportunity to:
- Embed prior knowledge.
- Provide theory based reasoning in explaining practice to others and to confidently advocate for play based, child led learning.
- Develop positive leadership skills.
I would like to continue to work in the field of Deaf and SEND and, at some point in the future, join the advisory outreach service.

MBKB are the recognised provider for the organisation I work for.

My mentor has been supportive all the way through the course and was always there in the good times and the, sometimes, difficult moments and they helped me to keep on track with compassion and understanding. The training and course content from MBKB was delivered effectively and structured in a way that was understandable, manageable and could be built upon to achieve the very best results. As a result of this experience, I would highly recommend MBKB.”
