Access Industry Reviews 

We have been very happy to work with Access Industry for many years and have always received excellent service. Together we have supported over 30 apprentices through the CVT apprenticeship and on to successful roles within the creative industries sector. This is a testament to the quality of training and guidance Access Industry provides. In particular Tracey Cooper is outstanding going above and beyond to ensure the apprentices have both pastoral and educational support.

Having just completed the Level 3 CLPO Apprenticeship, I would highly recommend the course to anyone considering their educational steps towards working in the galleries & museums sector.

The training modules aligned effectively with projects happening at the gallery. I found the online training sessions highly informative and concise. The tutors (Natalie & Jamie) created a welcoming atmosphere and encouraged conversation so that students could learn from the experiences of their peers. Additionally, the knowledge I gained during the sessions enabled me to contribute new ideas and ways of working to my team at the gallery.

My IP, Jamie, provided excellent guidance and support whilst I was preparing for the EPA. Any questions or concerns, Jamie would always respond swiftly and made time for mock tests and check-ins during the lead up. As a result of Jamie’s support, I felt confident and prepared going into the assessment.

Overall, it’s been a brilliant opportunity to develop my professional skillset and the support from Access Industry has been second to none.

I am just writing about a csho apprentice I recently studied through access industry, my tutor Claire colligan made this experience so much better for me with her constant help throughout this course making it easier for me.

We have taken our first apprentice and the follow up procedures and education offered to the apprentice seem to be first class

Fantastic apprenticeship provider, who offer personalised support and guidance throughout your apprenticeship.

We currently have 2 members of staff who are completing the level 3 sport and community health officer standard and they have expressed how well they are being supported too.

Professional and knowledgeable organisation with years of experience and success stories

Tom Bates and the team did an excellent job. Great communication from start to finish and we could not be happier with the outcome, bringing our new apprentice Katie on board. Highly recommend

I have known Tom from Access for many years, so once I knew we were looking for an apprentice I knew who to call. Tom expressed that Access could help us find the right person
Access provided us with a strong pool of candidates who were genuinely motivated and ready to learn. We were particularly impressed by how well the team matched us with individuals whose skills and interests aligned with our business needs. Within a short time, we found a fantastic apprentice “James” who has already become a valuable part of the team.
Kayleigh and Tom made everything easier — from posting the opportunity to onboarding the candidate. We’ll definitely use this service again in the future and would highly recommend it to other businesses looking to invest in fresh talent.

Tom at Access Industry has been really helpful in setting our apprentice up. He has made everything run smoothly and has been there when we have needed advice as it is our first experience having an apprentice.

We have worked with Access Industry for the past 12 months. Tom and the team are professional, responsive and proactive and always have the company and the apprentice's best interests at heart. I would recommend Access Industry to any businesses looking to employ an apprentice.

Access industry go above and beyond what is expected as an apprenticeship provider.
I have especially known Tom for many years, and his advice and guidance for the learners is second to none. His work ethics and dedication really shines through and it’s great to work with a firm so dedicated to seeing people development and grow

This apprenticeship has been a blessing for me as I was already interested in the Live Events industry previously. My skills have been improved greatly with the informational online lessons I partake in and my confidence has skyrocketed, allowing me to come out of my shell and feel comfortable in the line of work I am currently placed in.

The online deliveries are to the point and have an emphasis on joining in and sharing answers and experiences. This element gives the lessons a warm inviting feeling. The lessons I have been in haven't been overcrowded and gives quite a casual feel to it while remaining professional.

Tracey is full of knowledge and is great at making you feel included in the lessons but isn't pushy if a student isn't comfortable answering. I always enjoy hearing her stories of events and shows she has worked on in the past.

My IP, Joe, has been extremely helpful and has been providing valuable guidance and information where needed and still continues to support me while I am on this apprenticeship. Any questions or concerns I may have are always met with empathy, compassion and a plan to get through.

I joined this program as a musician and sound engineer and progressed through to find I enjoy being a Lighting Engineer too; something I have never had experience with prior. I've also found the confidence to talk to and help the general public, something I struggled with quite a lot previously.

I would highly recommend Access Industry and their apprenticeships to anyone who wants to get into their field of expertise.

I recently made contact with Kayleigh at Access Industry regarding apprenticeships, we are a very small company, but we were very impressed by the amount of information Kayleigh gave us in enquiring about apprentices and our next steps in us employing an apprentice. Thank you for your time.

My IP Tracey gave me consistent support and encouragement, and gave me the guidance that I needed when I felt unsure. She has been a kind and listening ear in all of our meetings.
Jamie delivered interesting and engaging online tutorials, relevant to the CLPO standard - both provided helpful and constructive feedback.
Tom was on hand as part of the pastoral care team to offer his support, which was much appreciated, and Rose was able to give me advice when I had any queries.
Thank you access team for a fantastic placement - wishing you all the best!

Access Industry have been incredibly helpful in securing me an apprenticeship last month. Kayleigh gave me lots of advice and prep for the interview which led me to be offered the role!

I am only at the beginning of my apprenticeship however so far Kayleigh Judge has been brilliant in keeping me informed and making herself readily available for me to request for any support I may need. I am definitely looking forward to her continued guidance throughout my apprenticeship this year.

I’m absolutely loving my Level 3 Business Apprenticeship with Access Industry, employed by SGI! From day one, Kayleigh has been absolutely amazing—always looking after me and providing fantastic support whenever I need it. Her guidance has made the whole journey so smooth and enjoyable.

I’m really enjoying every aspect of this apprenticeship and the variety of experiences I’m gaining along the way. It’s been a brilliant opportunity to learn and grow, and I couldn’t ask for better support or a more rewarding program. Highly recommend to anyone looking to kickstart their career in business!

Kayleigh and Tom have been a dream to work with. Form sourcing candidates to helping candidates settle in.

Couldn’t recommend them higher

Tracey Cooper was very supportive throughout my apprenticeship. I had a positive experience and built a career alongside the education which was provided.

joe was an excellent tutor, he gave good lectures and advise to help me in my future carrier.

Claire colligan has been really helpful with myself during my time in the apprenticeship with all my projects if I needed help on a topic or gave me extra time when I was struggling and all lessons are engaging and fun to participate in
