I’ve really enjoyed learning from Anthony during this course. He has explained the topics clearly and is always patient and approachable whenever I have questions. I appreciated how Anthony has made the lessons engaging and took the time to ensure everyone is keeping up.

I’ve recently completed my Level 3 Team Leader / Supervisor Apprenticeship with City Skills Limited and I’m proud to say I achieved a Distinction. My coach, Anthony Hari, has been fantastic throughout the entire programme. He provided clear guidance, valuable feedback, and genuine encouragement at every stage. His support helped me not only understand the theory but also apply it directly to real workplace projects, which made the learning truly meaningful. The structure and resources from City Skills were easy to follow, and the feedback process was always timely and constructive. I always felt supported and motivated to aim for the highest standard. I would highly recommend City Skills Limited and Anthony Hari to anyone looking to complete a management or leadership apprenticeship — their professionalism, patience, and dedication genuinely make a difference.

I am currently enrolled onto the L5 Learning and Development Consultant apprenticeship and really enjoying the course so far. The content is rich and I find the teaching style really engaging and accessible. The taught elements have helped me to develop my skills, particularly in designing learning interventions and facilitation, which I'm reaping the benefits of in my current role. I can't recommend City Skills enough!

I have just finished my L5 CIPD People Professional Apprenticeship with City Skills and was awarded a distinction! None of this would have been possible without the advice and support from my tutor, Jim Blythe, who was fantastic from start to finish. I have previously done the L3 Apprenticeship through City Skills with Jim and specifically wanted to be in the cohort he was teaching . Thanks Jim for everything :-)

I am currently completing my CIPD People Professional apprenticeship with City Skills and have been impressed with coordination and teaching throughout the course. I am in the final 6-8 months of study, my tutor has been a great support with engaging classroom content on a fortnightly basis, and regular review meetings. The assignment support is very useful and I know my development coach is available if any extra support is needed. The process for completing the apprenticeship has been straightforward and explained throughout and we regularly visit the course expectations. I am enjoying completing the course and am glad I chose City Skills to do this with.
