    Creative Digital Design Professional Apprenticeship

    "It wasn't a single event that got me to this point of studying for an apprenticeship at 51. It was more gradual. People around me were doing management apprenticeships but I just didn’t feel like that was a direction I needed – or wanted – to develop in. And then I found this apprenticeship in Creative Digital Design."

    "The tutors were really supportive and I think the whole class would agree with that. We felt really welcomed and really calm, and I feel that support was always there throughout. I’d 100% recommend an apprenticeship with Newcastle College University Centre."
