I knew university wasn’t going to be for me, so I decided to do an apprenticeship instead. Creative Alliance have really helped me with my confidence and employability skills.

I wanted to do an apprenticeship instead of University because of the workplace experience I could gain

I felt Beatfreaks really treated me like a normal employee, rather than just a young apprentice
My apprenticeship with Creative Alliance helped me refine my photography and graphic design skills while also learning the fundamentals of digital marketing. It gave me the opportunity to apply my creativity in a professional setting and understand how my skills fit into the industry.

With an apprenticeship you learn probably ten times faster than on any other kind of learning. It’s really great that I’ve been able to find something where I can learn on the job with experienced professionals and also gain a qualification.

I definitely recommend any other creative individuals, who are also deciding on how to get into the creative world to look at applying for an apprenticeship at Creative Alliance!! Best decision I’ve ever made!
