"Rachael attended the course in order to have a recognised qualification in ICT. She was aware that it would be beneficial as part of the application process for the admin jobs she was applying for. Within a few weeks of completing the course she was successful in an interview for a job working at Sellafield. She feels that the ICT qualification was a really useful addition to her CV and aided her in getting the job. Since starting with the company she has been able to make significant use of the skills she learnt on the course in her new job role".
