A snapshot of testimonials from some of our apprentices who have achieved their qualification through Xtra-Mile.com

Doing my Hospitality, Supervision & Leadership Modern Apprenticeship at SCQF Level 7 initially and then moving on to my Hospitality Management Skills at SCQF Level 8 has given me such a confidence boost within my role and my career. It gives you such a great feeling to be able to achieve qualifications based on what I do in my everyday job role. I would definitely recommend doing a SVQ with Xtra-Mile to not only help with confidence but also to be able to open more doors with my employer.

I was delighted with the opportunity Xtra-Mile gave me to gain such a valuable, professional qualification whilst working full time. The balanced structure of the apprenticeship has been a perfect way to implement new knowledge and practices into the work I do immediately as I learn it. The experience with Xtra-Mile being so flexible and tailored to my development needs has certainly helped me improve as a leader for my team and my business. The mentorship I received from David throughout and since completing the apprenticeship has been invaluable as he shares his experiences and has helped me understand a balanced approach to leadership. I can’t thank David and the Xtra-Mile team enough for the effort the put into myself and my colleagues, helping us grow in the hospitality industry. I fully recommend working with Xtra-Mile if you work in hospitality and are dedicated to progressing, they can provide the tools to help you along the way.

The Apprenticeship programme is a great opportunity to gain an industry recognised qualification whilst at work. Anneliese has been a great support throughout and has brought extra enjoyment to the whole process. I have already completed one qualification with Xtra-Mile and I am now completing my second qualification at a higher level. There is great flexibility with this, and Xtra-Mile allows you to work at your own pace. I would highly recommend this Apprenticeship to any partner as it helps you achieve great goals in life.

The Apprenticeship programme is a fantastic way to gain an industry recognised qualification while you work. Xtra- Mile.com provided support, my assessor was great and supportive her personality made it easy and a pleasure to deal with while I worked towards achieving my Hospitality Supervision and Leadership qualification. Xtra-Mile.com’s approach was really flexible, they did not pressure me with timeframes and allowed me to work at my own pace. Since completing my qualification, I have successfully moved into a store manager role. I can not recommend the Apprenticeship programme highly enough – it is great for both team members and employers.

M Wilson

My experience with Anneliese and Xtra- Mile.com has been so positive! It has helped me to pinpoint the areas of my job that I need to work on and to learn why some things are the way they are. I also feel like I have learned to be more confident in my workplace and to feel more empowered. I would totally recommend working with them!

D Medina

I was working as a Supervisor in a luxury hotel in Edinburgh. Last year through my employer I was lucky enough to do an apprenticeship with Xtra-Mile.com and I’ve been amazed with the standards and professionalism they had. Since the beginning, my assessor Anneliese, helped me to understand the process I was going through and how to get the results I wanted. We were in regular contact during the apprenticeship and she was very flexible on appointments depending on my rota. She assisted me during the training I received and always helped by motivating and coaching to get my best out of myself. The experience was incredibly rewarding and enjoyable at the same time. As a result of achieving the apprenticeship, I had an interview in a prestigious golf estate near London, where they evaluated my experience and qualifications and offered me a senior management position. I’d like to thank Xtra-Mile.com and mostly Anneliese who was amazing throughout the whole process. I’d recommend this apprenticeship to whoever strives for excellence and wants to achieve great goals in their lives.
