Amanda started her Apprenticeship with Pathway Group in 2013. A year later she has completed her level 2 in Playwork.
Amanda said: “The course was really interesting! I loved the topics and found them really useful, as I could apply the theory that I was learning to a practical working environment. It gave me clarity and knowledge of working with children and I found the whole experience really helpful.
“The assessor that I was provided with was always really supportive, especially if I was stuck. It was also good because there were three other people taking the qualifi cation at the same time as me in my workplace, which meant that we could share knowledge and progress together.
“I now feel more prepared working with children as I feel the course was really relevant to my work. I love working with them because I fi nd it really rewarding to think that I am making a real diff erence in that child’s life. My day is varied in regards to the kind of children that I am working with, and their needs can range widely. I really feel that the course has given me the skills and confi dence to be prepared day-to-day.”
