The training has had a real and lasting impact on how I lead and support others at work.

WELL Training have been outstanding from start to finish. What really set them apart was the level of support and personal attention throughout the entire course. My tutor was consistently encouraging and responsive, and the wider team were equally approachable and professional.

The Coaching Professional Apprenticeship training was of an exceptional standard – well-structured, relevant, and clearly delivered. Communication throughout both the learning and assessment phases was seamless, making the whole experience smooth and genuinely rewarding.

The knowledge I gained from the programme has been incredibly useful in my day-to-day role. I’ve been able to apply coaching techniques to support and develop my team more effectively, use professional development tools to reflect and grow in my own leadership, and draw on practical leadership skills to navigate challenges with greater confidence and clarity.

My Learning Coach made the Coaching Professionals Apprenticeship really engaging, fun, and adaptable, which made the whole experience stand out!

Since completing the programme, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge on coaching, build greater self-awareness, and strengthen my ability to reflect on my own performance.

Most importantly, I’ve learned how to put these skills into practice in everyday business life, which has had a real impact on how I work and support others, From improving the way I communicate with colleagues, to leading more effective coaching conversations, and approaching challenges with a more reflective mindset.

My new found skills have not only helped me grow personally, but they’ve also had a positive impact on how I support and work with others across the business.

I would highly recommend WELL Training. Nant have introduced a second cohort, WELL Training are helping Nant give back by investing in staff development.

On completing the apprenticeship, I’ve taken what I’ve learnt and started implementing a coaching culture across my organisation, building further plans to start a coaching programme.

Achieving the first ever distinction for WELL Training’s Level 5 Coaching Professional apprenticeship has given me so much confidence in my abilities and trusting my knowledge for future opportunities.

The people of WELL Training really do make the services offered the best. Everyone is involved in the process and you can feel the passion. I appreciated that my tutor went out of his way to make sessions and learning specific to each of us, adapting his style when needed and making it a fun learning environment. The level of support I have received from not only my tutor, but everyone else has been exceptional.

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 SLC’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.

My Apprenticeship has already helped me with decision making and planning within our business unit.

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

This apprenticeship has opened up doors for me, not just in my role but in networking with different departments.

The Senior Leadership Apprenticeship has allowed me to apply my newly gained knowledge on so many
different aspects and projects of my day-to-day role. 

My Senior Learning Coach tailoring the workshops, 1:1 coaching calls and coursework specific to my area of
business and also, to my skills.
 

I’m so pleased to say that I have completed the Level 7 Apprenticeship with a distinction!

I loved the interactive feel of my Apprenticeship and the training session engagement. I appreciated the customisation and personal support and the delivery methods used by WELL Training.

The Senior Leadership Apprenticeship has helped me to gain new leadership skills and more effective team management. The training has provided me with an expanded knowledge base, allowing me to answer a broader range of questions accurately and effectively. I understand the fundamentals of effective leadership and management, using my newly acquired leadership techniques to motivate and manage my teams. I’m fully committed to continuous professional development and learning.

This opportunity has expanded my professional network and it has given me a great opportunity for hands-on learning.

This programme has changed the way I think about scenarios & it has enabled me to adapt my approach depending on the situation.

I have grown so much as a person as well as professionally, following the completion of my Level 3 Leadership & management Apprenticeship programme. My emotional intelligence has sky-rocketed & I have a lot more confidence in myself.
I apply the things I learnt from the programme every day, in my own life as well as at work.
My Tutor was amazing, she was available anytime for support, always adjusting to what we needed & she did not adapt a one approach fits all, making learning fun & exciting whilst ensuring we got all the information needed. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble so I would recommend WELL training for anyone that needs training services, WELL made my success possible & coming out of it with a double distinction is as much a testament to WELL as it is to myself.

This Apprenticeship helped me to understand other leadership styles, allowing me to tailor coaching support.

The Coaches at WELL Training are experts in their field. They simplify complex topics into bitesize chunks, they provide flexibility & work around an apprentice & their 1:1 sessions, they put you at ease when studying & working full-time.

Ben in particular is an excellent Coach & was a tower of strength with the End point assessment stage of my Apprenticeship. My 1:1’s & the knowledge gained during the group sessions also helped me to navigate the end point assessment.

The Coaching Professional Apprenticeship has enabled me to empower other leaders with skills & knowledge they didn’t know they had through my new-found coaching skills.

WELL Training & my tutor have helped my career!

WELL Training helped me to deal with difficult work situations, & with their learning styles & training models, it’s enabled me to approach these situations differently, using my learning in my everyday role. The training was everything & more than I expected! I have been more positive & I now have a different outlook to my work.

Thank you for being patient & helping me to build my confidence

I want to say the biggest thank you to my Functional Skills Tutor for helping me study for maths & English Functional Skills. I feel so proud after passing my exams & I feel after this, I can do anything in life! For a non-English speaker, this is great  achievement, even if I say so myself!

If our Coach didn't make time for us as a team, none of us would be as far along as we are.

Often further education can seem stuffy or boring and that certainly hasn’t been the case with WELL Training. For me personally, I have found the training sessions and suggested reading material to be very good for my personal development. I have been able to be more introspective having an improved understanding of the psychology of people management and it has allowed me to become more emotionally mature and self-aware. In doing so, I have been able to recognise certain behaviours in my team and manage my responses to those behaviours better. I have become a much better manager, leader and person. As mentioned above, my own personal emotional maturity has improved, giving me more patience, empathy and understanding. In turn, allowing me to manage my team better. In the year since I started the course, I have seen my team move from Stroming into Norming and will hopefully be able to progress them into Performing.

I knew well would help me to achieve my goals

After completing the Functional Skills assessment I realised my strengths & weaknesses with Maths & English. The Functional Skills tutor provided online sessions & 1:1’s to help me progress & build my confidence. Passing my Functional Skills has allowed me to continue with my learning journey.

I couldn’t have done this without my Coach & their knowledge, support & advice.

Thank you to my Learning Coach for your continued support and endless hours spent with me to support me with completing my apprenticeship. I couldn’t have done this without Ben’s knowledge, support, advice and just general support whenever I needed it. Ben was friendly and approachable, and made me feel welcome to approach at any given moment or time. 

I have learnt a lot in the last few months of my apprenticeship. I have been able to use my newly gained skills during my day-to-day work life which has had a positive impact on my store and personal development.

I recently began training for a new role as an area manager and doing my level 5 apprenticeship with WELL Training has worked in symbiosis with my on the job role and the training from my company and colleagues. The content provided by WELL is growing my knowledge to new approaches and styles and stretching my current skills and I feel so supported by my Learning Coach with our 1:1 sessions. I feel that doing this qualification alongside my inhouse training has strengthened my time management and organisational skills. 

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.
