When I started my Operations Manager Apprenticeship, my biggest challenge was self-confidence. Over time, the experience really helped me to believe in myself. I’m now more confident in every part of my life, in and out of work and it’s honestly been life-changing.

This apprenticeship has helped me become a better manager and has allowed me to communicate with my team in a clearer, more professional manner. I have learned how to deliver communication with confidence and I now believe in myself and my decisions.

The impact has been amazing. The team now respect me more as a manager because they can see that I understand what I’m talking about and truly believe in what I’m telling them. It’s given me the confidence to take on a flagship store in a new area and to share my knowledge and experience in meetings and discussions.

My Coach was extremely supportive in our sessions & encouraged me to always exceed.

I would like to express my complete satisfaction with my Apprenticeship, since my Learning Coach was always available to discuss any doubts with my my work, she was extremely supportive in our sessions encouraging me to always exceed. Because I’m not a native English speaker, I always considered my chances slim and put myself in a lower position than my peers when it came to the EPA but with my coach’s vast knowledge and emotional intelligence I was assured that I was able to finish the training. I felt totally free to bring up any doubts and questions knowing that the help was there.

The Operations Manager Level 5 Apprenticeship was consistent and engaging. Our tutor took the time to build up a genuine rapport with us during the training, providing guidance and support throughout the course and the EPA. My new skills will be used within my existing role to great effect.

Part of my Apprenticeship, I completed Functional Skills Maths & English, and I found this experience a great confidence building exercise. My Apprenticeship has already helped me with decision making and planning within our business unit.

Overall, this Apprenticeship has definitely added to my capability and effectiveness as a manager.

As a passionate learner I can say that this was one of the most engaging and meaningful qualification methods I have been part of.

My Senior Learning Coach's management of the programme content meant that I was able to Network substantially, not only within my own business but also across the Caffé Nero group and external cohorts. It was invaluable to see methodology across different sectors and industries.

By completing this Apprenticeship I have been able to apply techniques learnt from my Apprenticeship into my business projects which have given my ideas a professional framework. Allowing me to bring my ideas to the senior leadership team in a clear concise way.

The Women in Leadership programme with WELL was fantastic. Having done a number of similar, albeit less formal, programmes in the past, I can say my experience with WELL has been great.

The training workshops were challenging, engaging, well-delivered sessions that have brought me out of my comfort zone in a safe and productive environment. I felt that it has progressed my learning and development and deepened my knowledge and understanding of issues relating to the organisational leadership.

The guys at WELL are always friendly and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend their service.
