NowSkills Limited Avis 

These guys helped me get my first level 3 apprenticeship in no time . Fast paced , reliable communication and excellent advice.

Found me a great apprenticeship role and the team were very supportive and friendly throughout the job search process.

Just received confirmation of my role. Sebastian helped me throughout the full process and kept me updated regularly.

Dionne was amazing, as was the other members of the team who spoke to me. They were all amazing and friendly and couldn’t have asked for bette help. Within 2 weeks I had an interview and got the apprenticeship! Highly recommended xx

I had an amazing experience with Now Skills. Dion was spectacular, she helped me find and secure and apprenticeship within a week!!

The most amazing experience with NowSkills. Super easy to get started and straightforward process. Dionne has been so lovely and helpful throughout trying her hardest to get me started on an apprenticeship, now landing myself one, which I am so excited to start. Couldn’t be more grateful, would recommend to everyone.

I found the NowSkills data analyst level 4 training extremely useful. The masterclasses taught me a lot of information from the basics of data analytics to the more complex tools and techniques that can be uses. My tutor Mark was extremely helpful and supportive, and Gus was very informative in teaching and providing feedback.

I completed my application process around a week or so ago and have already landed a fully funded data apprenticeship at an amazing company in Manchester, Sebastian was amazing so was anyone else involved great support and genuine care for the people they are helping. 10/10.

I am very happy with the help that NowSkills have provided in finding an apprenticeship. In particular, Katie Ballegher has been fantastic and has made the process very smooth. Thank you.

Amazing help from now skills, they have helped me so much to gain an offer for an apprenticeship, first time! Would definitely recommend!

NowSkills was very supportive towards myself and finding an apprenticeship. The whole process was smooth and reliable. Dionne and the rest of the team was amazing, I would highly reccomend if you are looking for an apprenticeship.

Finding an apprenticeship through Now Skills has been a brilliant experience. The communication between myself and staff has been very efficient and smooth, and I managed to get an interview in no time at all! Everyone I spoke to has been super supportive and friendly. I would 100% recommend Now Skills to start your apprenticeship journey.

Also, a huge thank you to Stephen Ratcliffe for reaching out to my employer and securing me an interview, I couldn't have done it without you!!!

Very helpful in finding me an apprenticeship that matches my background in academics (performing arts and media). Very helpful in making sure I was prepared for my interview and keeping in contact to make sure how I got on, great service overall.

I've seen plenty of other great reviews so perhaps I have just gotten incredibly unlucky in my experience with the company.

Things started out seemingly well I applied to a marketing apprenticeship I'd found on the UCAS website and was taken to the now skills page to apply. As I couldn't apply directly, I filled out some forms and was told that I'd here back from a now skills rep. A few days later the call came however as I was on a marketing course I missed it, almost immediately (20 mins later) I tried to call back PK (the rep who contacted me) but the phone was engaged. No worries however I had an email from him asking me to send over my details and prepare for a pre screening call (this was at 3.44 feb 2nd) I responded at 4.03 same day but this email was never responded to and I never received another call. I emailed PK again on the 5th hoping he might be able to call me before the week was over but again received an automated response explaining that PK had left the company.

No bother, I thought, ill just have to email the company directly, I sent the recruitment email a message that same day as it was the only other email I had for the company. NO RESPONSE. I followed up again on the 9th... NO RESPONSE, I emailed again on the 20th as id received a call from an unknown number which I thought could have been them... NO RESPONSE. I want to make it clear that this whole time I was trying to call text and leave voicemail for the company on any number I had.

After receiving no response at this point I decided that the company was a likely scam, it being ran so poorly. With this in mind I simply gave up trying to contact. Just the other day however april 20th I finally received some more communication. From a rep named JC.

JC has in fact emailed me back and called with me since and it seems things have been difficult for him as he has a lot on his plate picking up slack from other employees. I can only assume this implies those which may have left in which case it seems to be poorly managed if clients are falling through the cracks when an employee leaves.

With the help from my recruiter Dionne, I was able to secure an apprenticeship after my first interview which made the experience feel well guided and efficient. Thank you to the NowSkills team!

In fairness to NowSkills, I do believe they the potential to provide a valuable service to apprentices and jobseekers, however their current processes are lacking and the conduct of their staff is at times almost offensive.

I applied for a Level 3 Data apprenticeship through NowSkills, as I am looking to make a career change from marketing. I explained this to the recruiter that NowSkills appointed to me, Dionne, who was helpful at first and managed to get me an interview.

I was successful in the first round and was invited back for a second stage, however the job was essentially a TikTok marketing role at a startup, who in my opinion are just utilising government schemes/apprenticeship funding to subsidise their staff's wages and have no interest in developing apprentices in Data/IT.

I wasn't interested in that particular company or role because I felt it would be a step backwards and expressed my concerns to Dionne via email, who proceeded to call me back-to-back whilst I was in an interview elsewhere, which fair enough she didn't know, but when I called her back to explain and reiterate my concerns, she said:

"Well that's a big fat waste of my time isn't it." And, "If you don't go this interview I will have to blacklist you and we won't be able to find you any other opportunities"

At which point I said that's fine and left it at that. It's a shame because there may have been genuinely suitable and exciting opportunities, but their attempts to gaslight or blackmail aren't worth the hassle.

Wanted to say a massive thanks to Sebastian for all his efforts in finding me a job I love and starting my apprenticeship journey. He was so helpful and supportive throughout the whole process and I’m sure I will continue to have a positive experience over the course of my apprenticeship.

Had a job interview thanks to the help of the recruiter and was told I got the job. However, a couple days before I was supposed to start I got an email saying my start day was going to be pushed back up to four weeks for internal issues. Fast forward to the end of the four week, and I hadn’t heard anything. I emailed, and the date was going to be pushed back another 2 weeks. This continued for quite a while with the date being pushed back and I had no communication leading to me having to ask at the end of every new updated start date. I’ve stopped asking when I’m going to start the job and to no surprise I haven’t heard anything. I found out I got the job at the start of January it’s now the 1st April. I’m aware the job seems to have fallen through but now skills gave me no information on this matter.

Chris, Seb, and Dionne were great help with finding an apprenticeship, and made the process of connecting with businesses simple. Thanks to them I was able to secure a great apprenticeship that suited my skills and aspirations.

Katie was incredible, she routed for my through it all and I couldn’t be more grateful for her guidance!
