HEAR FROM OUR LEARNERS

"I left school several years ago and achieved a D in both my English and Maths. I started working in a customer service role, but really my passion was Digital Marketing. I struggled gaining the relevant experience due to the low scores in my GCSE's and my lack of experience. 1st2 Achieve helped me achieve both my English and maths level 2 qualifications. Not only that but they helped me find my dream role as a Digital Marketer. Now I have the skills, experience and knowledge to really progress in my career." - Mark Holmes, 28, Digital Marketer
