My apprenticeship experience was very positive. I was supported where necessary and felt the tutors were well-experienced in their areas of teaching. MBKB has a wide range of staff who are knowledgeable in specific areas of the apprenticeship which allowed me to speak with experts when I had any questions or concerns concerning my work.
Kamil Pietrzyk from Westfield Medical
“After finishing my A-Levels, I didn’t think university was the best choice for me as I am a practical learner; I learn best by carrying out tasks myself and learning from the outcomes. Therefore, I felt the best option for me was an apprenticeship. Not only are apprenticeships more practical bases, but the other big appeal is earning while I work. This allowed me more financial freedom compared with the more traditional route of university.

The transition from the core apprenticeship curriculum to the end-point assessment stage was seamless because MBKB handled the majority of the document submission which took the pressure off of me! Overall, I’m satisfied with the apprenticeship and its outcome.”

Suzanne Windsor from Circle Health Group
“My Name is Suzanne Windsor and I work for Circle health Group in Medical Records.
I chose to pursue an apprenticeship in Business Administration to help to give me the skills and confidence to do my job to the best of my ability, following a career change to an office environment within a healthcare setting after working in retail for 20 years.
My original Training Provider went into administration at a time when I only had 6 weeks of my apprenticeship left to complete.
MBKB took over and I felt that my tutor Dave Rushforth really took the time to get to know me and my goals which resulted in me successfully completing the apprenticeship.

MBKB were the training provider for my apprenticeship and my tutor Emma was a star. She understood the deadlines for payroll and that I would be busier at points in the month and was supportive throughout. Emma was extremely flexible and allowed me to choose the modules, for example in one month I was completing some GDPR training so we brought forward the GDPR module so it would be fresh in my mind.
Kirsty Pickering from IPL
“I had chosen to complete the Level 5 Payroll assistant manager apprenticeship, which I have successfully passed. I decided to enrol in this course as it was a newly published apprenticeship at the time, which would allow me to progress my career and would solidify my knowledge. Payroll has historically not been recognised as a career; however, with employers focusing on employee experience and improvements in technology, the industry has grown and now become recognised.
This course was a two-year commitment and whilst it was hard work to complete this alongside working, it has been very rewarding. I have gained knowledge that has allowed me to implement changes in the payroll processing to ensure we are compliant and improve our day-to-day practice. I am grateful I found an employer who recognised my commitment to payroll and would support me through completion of this apprenticeship.
Whilst mid-way through the programme I was successfully promoted to Leader of the payroll team. My goal would be to make it to Payroll manager and possibly explore other training in Reward/HR in the future.
