Jake McMahon talks about being an apprentice at UEL

I started my apprenticeship journey with UEL in 2018, I hadn't been in any form of academia since college for my electrical apprenticeship in 2007, and I had never been exposed to academic writing, assignments, and referencing.
UEL enabled me to unlock potential in myself, which resulted in me defying my own expectations by achieving a First, and less than 3 months after completing my course I was offered a full manager's role at Savills."
