Rick Garft's journey

Why did you start the traineeship?

I was unsatisfied in my last job and wanted to get back to doing something I was passionate about. Having always loved working with Tech I looked around and found this to be the most intriguing option with good reviews and a robust support system.

What did you enjoy most?

The thing I enjoyed most was the ability to work at my own pace and fit the training around my life. The level of support I received was also tremendous. The tutors were a great help and very approachable and full of knowledge.

What's your current role like?

My current role as Helpdesk Support is perfect for the stage I am at. It has helped me consolidate the training knowledge I gained while also pushing me to learn more.
