“My experience with 1300apprentice was exceptional from start to finish during by Certificate III in Business.
The recruitment process with Chad was smooth and informative in my first taste of interviewing for a corporate role. The highlight of my Traineeship was working with my field officer, Jordan. His ongoing support, regular check-ins, and constructive feedback were invaluable. He had a genuine commitment to my success, and I felt well supported throughout the year. The payroll team and front desk staff were also responsive and efficient, making the entire process seamless whenever I had any queries or concerns.
I highly recommend 1300apprentice for anyone looking to complete Vocational Education.”
