5. Quote Chef De Partie (Modern Apprenctice):
I was considering my career options, maybe going to college, but when I realised that the Apex Modern apprentice offered both on the job training and qualifications, I instantly knew that was the best choice for me. I am really pleased I choose this avenue for career development as within the last 6 months I was promoted to chef de partie.

6. Quote Front Office Porter (Apex Hotels careers website)
I started in housekeeping as a room attendant and after 7 months I was offered to work in reception. I deal with a huge range of tasks daily which helps me pick up many different skills. The best thing about my job is meeting the wide variety of different customers we get. I enjoy trying to pick up different languages as it allows me to communicate with people from all over the world.
