Teya Agnese is Apprentice of the Month
We are delighted that one of our apprentices has been awarded with 'Apprentice of the month' by Abingdon & Witney college
Teya Agnese, works as a Clinical Trials Coordinator in the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Muscoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS).
How you feel to have been given this title?
I was so shocked when I received a call from Abingdon and Witney College receiving the news that I had been awarded Apprentice of the Month. My Training Assessor had kindly nominated me for my hard work throughout the course of my apprenticeship (although they hadn't informed me of my nomination, so when I received the award, it was even more of a delightful shock).
I have enjoyed my time at Abingdon and Witney College and receiving Apprentice of the Month with them, I feel, is a lovely way to finish my apprenticeship.
How you feel to have completed your apprenticeship with a distinction?
When my final apprenticeship results came through, I remember feeling quite nervous to open them. I had spent months revising and preparing for my end point assessment with the goal in mind to aim for a distinction. However, a part of me felt that this was something I couldn't achieve and that I had set my own goals too high - I was wrong! My training assessor called me as soon as the results came through to inform me of the good news and I felt overjoyed to have met my personal goals. I am very much looking forward to now starting my Level 4 Apprenticeship.
