Sep 03,2021Overall a great experience with this company that matched me with a role that was equal to my experience and qualifications. They made everything crystal clear throughout with out patronising me. Rick Shaw was extremely helpful and enthusiastic. I felt alot of support throughout the whole process.

Aug 21,2021My experience with this company has been fantastic, all the members of the company I communicated with were incredibly friendly while being very professional. Although it did take a few months to find an apprenticeship the entire time I spent looking for one with NowSkills were a pleasant time as the whole process of finding one was very smooth and I had no problems with it. I would like to thank both Rick and Rebekah for helping me find my apprenticeship as they were incredible for helping me. I would most definitely recommend this to anyone who is searching for an apprenticeship in an IT related field.

Aug 14,2021I want to say a huge THANK YOU to the best team at the best apprenticeship company - Now Skills. All of them are professionals, responsible and tolerant when doing their work. They do not find you just an apprenticeship course, but they find you the right apprenticeship course at the right company. Thank you, Rebekah, Quincy, Rick, Lewis. All of you tirelessly and bravely have worked to find the right course for me, taking time for all my questions and worries. A big thank you to Matthew, who was considering, supportive and always ensure that everything ran steadily. He even called me to make sure I had found the company where I had an interview. That was very kind, Matthew. I would highly recommend Now Skills to anyone looking to start an apprenticeship.

Aug 10,2021In my search for a Digital Marketing Apprenticeship, I applied to Now Skills. Immediately I could tell that they were determined to find a position to help me progress in my career and personal development. Lewis and Rebecca called me and spoke with me in-depth about the career I was searching for and what I hoped to gain from the apprenticeship. They were extremely helpful in guiding me on how to best prepare for my interviews and identifying positions that matched my specific skills and interests. Both Lewis and Rebecca have been excellent throughout the entire process, making me feel at ease and excited about starting a new job.

Aug 05,2021Now Skills have been a very good company to work with during my time looking for apprenticeships. After many unsuccessful attempts, I decided to apply with them. They are very quick in responding to queries and other questions. During the two months, I had two interviews, one of which I was successful. I would like to thank Alastair and Quincy for helping me find an apprenticeship. they were both very friendly and supportive. I would definitely recommend Now Skills for anyone struggling to find apprenticeships.

Jul 28,2021Now skills have been trying to find me an apprenticeship for months now. I wasn't enjoying the general college structure so I turned to now skills for help. They didn't let me down as I have just landed myself with an IT infrastructure technician apprenticeship in Manchester all thanks to now skills. Thanks for Matthew for working with me closely in these few moths I've been looking.

Jul 22,2021Now skills in my opinion are the best apprenticeship company out there. I had previously signed up for numerous other company’s in search for an apprenticeship and found I was getting little to no contact from them, however at Now Skills you are always in regular contact with someone who is working hard to help you find an apprenticeship that’s perfect for you. I was contacted the same day I applied and was regularly in touch Lewis who gave me lots of helpful information and tips. I would like to thank Lewis from the Now Skills team, he was very helpful in securing me a job, he was friendly, put me at ease straight away and supported me every step of my journey. I’m grateful I joined Now Skills and would highly recommend them.

Jul 05,2021Just wasted my time filling in for a lvl 4 apprenticeship after numerous phone calls from the reps asking me to fill the form ASAP. Website states "Entry requirements to become a Software Developer apprentice Individual employers will set the selection criteria. It is likely to include: Grades A*-C (9-4 equivalent) in English and mathematics a science or technology qualification is desirable but not essential or a relevant Level 3 Apprenticeship a qualification or part-qualification in a related area at a lower or the same level would be advantageous, but not required" After sending through my form and talking to the rep it became quite clear she was not interested in selling me a lvl 4 but a lvl 3 apprenticeship. She stated it was because my background isn't in IT. Bearing in mind I have the relevant grades, an MSc in scientific background and I am currently on a full stack developer bootcamp. So realistically as others have said, they're only interested in selling what they have. Clearly there are a lot of lvl 3 apprenticeships available in my area. To top it off I have actually made it to interview stage with another apprenticeship scheme for a lvl 4 apprenticeship after completing the entry test.

Jun 24,2021I was looking for a Level 4 IT apprenticeship with several apprenticeship providers in the North West, Nowskills was the only one that provided me with proper support and actively tried to find me a Level 4 apprenticeship. The staff members that assisted me in finding an apprenticeship were all brilliant and gave me the opportunity for a number of interviews with various companies within Greater Manchester. I have now accepted an offer for a Level 4 IT apprenticeship and my career is moving forward which is largely down to NowSkills. I previously completed a Level 3 IT apprenticeship and was given support and guidance in how to pass the apprenticeship and move on in my career afterwards. If you are looking for an IT apprenticeship within the North West NowSkills is by far the best company to use.

Jun 22,2021I've been really impressed with my experience Digital Marketing apprenticeship with NowSkills. From day one they have been extremely helpful, always on hand to help and keep me up to date with new job openings. I cannot thank Quincy enough for his help finding me the perfect apprenticeship placement. He really went above and beyond to ensure I had all the information I needed, as well as advice on job interview techniques. He really did help this process run as smoothly as possible. Overall I would highly recommend NowSkills to anyone considering an apprenticeship, you really won't be disappointed.

Jun 13,2021I am 24 and based in the Liverpool city region. Upon applying for a Digital Marketing apprenticeship with Now skills, they were able to provide me with numerous employer opportunities efficiently. They are a great company and really care about their applicants making sure to deal with any questions and desires you may have. For me in particular I’d like to say a big thank you to my assigned tutor Callum Penn for always being so down to earth and easy to speak to, and offering help where it’s needed. Not to mention the advertisement he created about me to send out to local employers which I thought was very impressive. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is under 25 and thinks it may be too late to decide what they want to do with their life, because the truth is, it isn’t. If you’re based in the North West and looking for a career in IT I would suggest looking them up.

May 30,2021Now Skills is probably one of the best if not the best for finding apprenticeships. The same day I signed up I received a call back. I was contacted very frequently and given all of the required information on how to have the best chance of getting an apprenticeship. All the way up to the interview I gained support and advice. I was given a lot of help by Matthew who was my main point of contact during the stage of having the interview. He gave me so much information on what to say and what I could do to stand out and made sure I was feeling confident before finishing the conversation. Overall a great experience and thank you.

May 28,2021I registered with Nowskills last year and time after time they have suddenly reappeared calling me up about potential jobs/interviews however every single time I have been told that I will be getting an interview and then I hear nothing for weeks or months with no communication or explanation only to be contacted again with vague promises of an interview with a company and no matter whether I follow up or not I hear nothing. The main problem is the complete lack of communication I shouldn't have to chase them down to find out what's going and then still be left in the dark with further vague promises.

May 26,2021Now Skills have been a fantastic company to begin a digital career with! Rebecca contacted me straight away after registering and helped me create my application with tips to get the most on the page. After that, she consistently kept in contact about job opportunities and I felt comfortable to say 'No' if the job didn't sound right for me. I have now worked a month at a company office and am really enjoying it, but feel the brilliant advice Matthew gave before leaving for the interview and via email was a huge aid for getting the role! I signed up for a number of apprenticeship training providers, but found Now Skills to be a standard above the rest!

May 25,2021I've had a great experience with NowSkills, they've been extremely supportive during my apprenticeship journey. Not only that but they are extremely consistent (Matthew especially lol) with making sure you're working to maximum potential. I definitely recommend them if you're looking to take your career to the next level.

May 19,2021I highly recommend Nowskills for anyone who is looking to find a great apprenticeship. I’ve been completely supported by the team and my amazing tutor Amy has helped me every step of the way. From finding placements to helping me with anything I needed. Rebekah and Rick were excellent at finding me the best placement as well as settling me in, making sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone I have spoken to has been easy to speak to and are genuinely passionate about all the apprentices. A big thanks to everyone at Nowskills!
