Worst Decision of my life (apprentice) - Apprentice LDN Apprenticeships Employee Review

Pros

Too many cons can’t even think of any. Don’t waste your time.

Cons

No real communication between coaches and apprentices. Mine was so lazy and unhelpful most of the time. Took unbelievably ridiculously long to reply to urgent messages. Ridiculous amount of coursework ON TOP of office work, which includes files and files of the most useless work you would never need to know in a workplace. Adding unnecessary pressure. Treated like your back at secondary school, no sense of independence or progress as an upcoming adult. During COVID they were especially absolutely unhelpful and ambiguous knowing as a young adult I’m going through a hard time. Felt disposable while job was hanging on the line, they did not care for sure. Do not recommend for teenagers or anyone confused about what to do in life, they will make you feel even more lost and crap. Sign up somewhere else trust me.

Pros

From the very beginning, the interview process stood out. It was a great balance of formal and informal, and I really appreciated being invited into the office to receive my formal offer in person, it made a huge difference in helping me confidently make my decision. Now, six months in and having successfully completed my probation, I can genuinely say this has been one of the most refreshing professional experiences of my career. Despite the growing challenges in the training sector, LDN Apprenticeships continues to shine as a model of integrity and excellence. The culture here is exceptional, there’s a strong, positive dynamic across the business, driven by an inspiring CEO and SLT (in ways I have not seen before my time at LDN). Quality is non-negotiable here, and it’s evident in everything we do. People treat each other with genuine respect and appreciation, regardless of role. There’s a deep rooted commitment to doing things the right way, and that extends to how people are supported. I now enjoy a fantastic work-life balance, which keeps me energised and productive during work hours, and allows me to fully enjoy my personal time. The culture of transparency, open communication, and mutual respect is not just talked about, it’s real. My line manager has been incredibly supportive, and I’ve felt empowered and trusted from day one. It’s easy to see why we’re an Ofsted Grade 1, Outstanding provider and a proud B Corp, this is a place where people truly matter.

Cons

Travel cost to London office (hybrid-monthly arrangement)

Pros

LDN have an amazing culture - very dynamic, innovative and future focused.

Cons

There really isn't any... apart from not paying expenses for regular travel to the office which I knew from the get go.
