Codi Jerman
Codi Jerman, a Support Worker at The Oaks Care Home, Newtown has completed her Level 2 Health & Social Care Adults Apprenticeship to comply with Care standards. Codi said she tried undertaking this qualification as a full-time, further education student, but this did not suit her learning needs. Speaking about the apprenticeship route she commented:
“This has given me the confidence and skills to go on to undertake and train to become a Midwife; which I would have never thought of doing only that I have achieved this qualification”.
Elaine Nicholls, NPTC Group of Colleges Pathways Training Assessor said: “We are very proud of the way that Codi has applied herself to her studies because she has also had to deal with some challenging situations on the way. It just shows that if you want something badly enough you can achieve it with the correct and adaptive support in place.”
