What employees say

Before I started HML I was studying a hairdressing apprenticeship for two years and was able to pass an NVQ Level 2 Hairdressing qualification. I enjoyed hairdressing but felt like I needed something different and challenging, something completely new to learn.

My new apprenticeship at HML studying a QCF Level 3 Business and Administration is going great, I’ve been here for eight months and felt like I’ve learnt so much in such little time.

My colleagues were very welcoming, especially with this being my first office job. It was quite scary, but as time has gone on I feel very lucky that HML was my first accounts job. This job has helped me in so many ways, from strengthening my maths to helping my knowledge of excel and general business practices.
