What really appealed was the flexible nature of the apprenticeship – I wanted to gain my nursing registration, whilst earning a wage. Learning through UCW has allowed me to study and work at the same time and my workplace is very supportive of this. So, it’s been a great opportunity for my personal development.

I have already encouraged several friends to begin their counselling journey at UCW. It's a life changing course that allows time for personal growth along with professional development.
