Level 3 Business Administration
Kath Peace
I have recently completed the Level 3 City & Guilds Business Administration qualification with The Link via my employer. Throughout the period of the apprenticeship I was intensively supported with weekly meetings and extra support offered as needed. Nothing was ever too much trouble and critique of assignment contents and style was always provided with clear informative feedback on how to improve and meet the criteria needed. I feel the level of support given by Ben was exceptional and can only recommend both the programme and training provider to future students and employers. Again, thank you Ben for your support.

Level 3 Business Administration
I have recently achieved a distinction in a Level 3 Business Administration Course with The Link Training. I was well-supported throughout the course by my tutor Ben who was always available to answer my questions and help develop my ideas. I appreciate how he encouraged me to explore my organisation, think outside of the box, and consistently improve my level of work to set higher standards for myself. Now that I have completed the course, I am well-integrated with my team and can confidently communicate my queries and suggestions within my organisation. This was a huge contrast to my former self who was anxious to initiate communication at work. A big thanks to Ben and The Link Training for giving me the opportunity to learn from such a well-structured and interactive course. As well as gain the skills that I need to deliver an exceptional working performance and seek new challenges. I cannot recommend them enough.

Business Administration level 3
Razwana Iqbal
Business Administration level 3
My experience started with Link Training in July 2019 when I started a Business Administration level 3. I had a meeting with Ben, he introduced me to One file, and made it so simple and easy for me to understand. Each task I did he helped by giving feedback every time, he was so supportive, kept in touch via email, WhatsApp, and phone. Ben became like a mentor for me each step of the way. He helped me reach my full potential, each assignment I completed he would give it back and ask for more input from me. I can’t thank Link Training and Ben enough. I completed my Apprenticeship, I’m happy with my work and comfortable in my job. I feel confident in recommending Link Training. I’m sure anyone who joins Link Training will achieve whatever they want to. The team is great and the set-up makes it so much more enjoyable.
