Senior Leader Level 7 Reviews

I have enjoyed the course overall, Louise and Catherine have been amazing and have answered any questions i have had in a very timely manner. The support i have had has contributed to me passing

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time throughout the course. A big part of this was down to Louise, when I first started the course I wanted to withdraw as I didn't think I could do it. Louise listened and has been a driving force in my development / confidence and I cannot thank her enough for getting me the end with a distinction!

Thank you for providing such a well managed course, I looked forward to my meetings with my tutor.

I cannot speak highly enough of both the programme and, in particular, Dave Reynolds. Since beginning the apprenticeship, the knowledge, skills, and confidence I have gained have played a significant role in my professional development, culminating in my promotion to Director. Dave has been far more than a tutor; he has been an outstanding mentor, coach, and source of support throughout the journey. His depth of knowledge is exceptional, but what truly sets him apart is his patience, encouragement, and genuine commitment to helping learners succeed. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure concepts were understood, challenges were overcome, and confidence was built. His belief in his learners and his ability to bring out the best in people make him an exceptional educator. I am extremely grateful for his support and would wholeheartedly recommend both Dave and Deere Apprenticeships to anyone looking to develop as a leader.

As I have said I cannot stress the competence the tutor had she deserves a medal for her patience and understanding

Very good - thanks for all of your help.

A massive thank you to Jane for her expert teaching and guidance throughout the course. I feel I have gained a friend in her. I do think Deere need to look at their EPA process / EPA manager as this is where the whole apprenticeship could have failed for me. A big thank you to Louise as well with her help with EPA prep

Very good master clsss

Overall, I have found DEERE Apprenticeships to be extremely supportive throughout my learning and development journey. The programme provided not only strong academic and professional support, but also valuable emotional wellbeing support through the Be Inspired coaching, mentoring, and counselling sessions, which I found particularly beneficial during challenging periods. The support available for key skills, including English and maths, was also very positive and accessible. Communication throughout the apprenticeship was excellent, with regular emails, newsletters, and information bulletins ensuring I was always aware of upcoming events, course modules, and wider opportunities. This helped me feel informed, organised, and well-supported throughout the programme. Louise Gozzard has been an amazing tutor throughout the apprenticeship; a real champion of people and professional development, bringing a human approach and humour to her teaching and support. Her encouragement, understanding, and belief in my potential made a significant difference to my experience, and I cannot thank her enough. Overall, my experience has been highly positive and has contributed significantly to both my personal and professional growth as a senior leader.

Louise, Jane and Catherine have all been a really big help during my apprenticeship, all approachable, knowledgeable and helped me to get to the distinction level.
