What qualifications did you gain through Damar? Advanced Apprenticeship in Business Admin - Diploma in Business Admin (QCF) Intermediate Apprenticeship in Customer Service – NVQ Certificate in Customer Service Functional skills in Maths, English Speaking & Listening, English Writing, English Reading, Business Skills and IT. What level of support did you receive through Damar? The level of support from Damar sensational!, Andrea and Amanda in particular. Andrea was my Training Assessor and has been there since day one. During the time she made sure I had everything I needed and supported me through the completion of my portfolio and the revision on my exams. Amanda gave me extra support with my Maths revision. This initially came to be a struggle, but after various revision sessions I passed. What were your biggest challenges in obtaining your qualifications? The more noticeable challenge was attempting to pass my Maths and Business skills exams. I had not passed a few times and needed revision sessions to ensure I got through. Javed gave me invaluable sessions during work time to revise and make sure if I needed help he would be available. Some people might have doubts about an apprenticeship & also the recruitment sector - what would be your advice be? The recruitment industry can be challenging & people do shy away working in the sector, especially apprenticeships but I can assure anyone that it is highly exciting & rewarding. As for an Apprenticeship?..just do it! You earn whilst you learn! It’s a no brainer!. For me it enhances your CV and develops you as an individual. In my experience some apprenticeships lead to permanent jobs. My first qualification took a year and after that year Javed offered me a permanent role at Strive. Admittedly I cried tears of joy as I’d finally found my career. 3 years on and I’m still loving the challenge!
Andrea Tyman Damar Training Team Manager During Alex’s qualification Javed was very supportive and played a key role in helping Alex successfully pass her course. Javed allowed Alex time to complete practice papers, attend additional sessions with myself and her functional skills trainer, attending resits and providing time to complete other aspects of her course. Without this support and commitment Alex may not have completed the course, so thank you Javed! Alex completed her Customer Service level 2 and then progressed to Business Admin level 3 – having this opportunity Alex has been able to develop her customer service and administration skills, both of which are of key importance to Alex’s current role. Part of the level 3 course, Alex was required to sit her English, Maths and ICT level 2 Functional Skills exams, this has therefore armed her with the skills that are needed for her role and more advanced admin roles. Having passed her level 2 in ICT Alex was able to learn about advanced formulas and techniques that she can use at work. Alex was able to use the English speaking exam in order to develop her confidence when speaking to people that she doesn’t know. Thanks, Andrea. Strive Supply Chain look forward to supporting more great team members in the future through the apprenticeship scheme.
