Testimonial: Bridgette, Medical Office Award

After completing her Award, Bridgette started applying for work and secured two interviews very quickly. Shortly after one of her interviews, she was offered a Reception Admin role in a surgery. In a short amount of time, Bridgette was able to get the job she had been looking for, by recognising that she needed training to make up for her lack of experience, and she knew she’d need to study somewhere that would really boost her prospects.

When considering training to further your career, it is important to be able to answer the following questions with a firm 'yes':

1. Is the training provider trustworthy and do they have a good track record?
2. Will the training actually give me the vocational skills that I require to advance my career?
3. Will potential employers/clients recognise the training and give me work as a result, so that I get a return on my investment?
4. Will I enjoy the training and see it through to the end?
