Deere Apprenticeships Reviews

My experience of the apprenticeship has been very positive. My tutor has consistently provided clear guidance, constructive feedback and practical support that has helped me connect the course content to my day-to-day leadership responsibilities. The regular one-to-one discussions have been particularly useful in helping me identify how ordinary workplace activities can provide meaningful evidence of learning and progression. For example, following discussions about financial management and strategic resource allocation, I completed an assignment analysing the impact of AI-driven market disruption on iCareHub Consultancy. What began as an academic exercise developed into a genuine review of my business portfolio. The financial evidence challenged my initial plan to close the consultancy, as the analysis showed that the business had generated more profit despite lower revenue. This resulted in a revised strategic business plan, the decision to retain and reposition iCareHub, and a clearer portfolio strategy involving The Integral Care Hub and future AI-enabled services. The tutor’s guidance has also helped me improve the way I record and evidence my professional development. Examples include documenting the strategic recruitment of a Clinical Manager as an OJT activity, mapping the recruitment process to workforce planning and organisational change, and recognising how delegation of operational responsibilities has enabled me to focus more effectively on strategic growth, tendering and long-term planning. I have found my tutor approachable, responsive and encouraging, while also allowing me sufficient independence to take ownership of my learning. The support provided has strengthened my confidence, strategic thinking and ability to apply leadership theories and financial evidence to real organisational decisions.

Thoroughly enjoyed and felt effortless and sad its finished!! LOL Louise my tutor who i ended up considering a friend rather than a tutor!! Louise sadly had serious health complications during the course duration but still made an effort to make sure I was okay!! An amazing coach and a HUGE asset to Deere!! Catherine who supported me with the EPA process preparation was very approachable and really accommodating which made the EPA process far less daunting.

Really enjoying the course and finding it very useful. The spreadsheet the tutor has put in place about how each piece of work needs to be done and completed, has really helped me save time and understand what I'm doing.

I see that he is very experienced in what he does, he seem to understand the circumstances around his student and somehow motivates them to do better than they could imagine- this is my experience with my tutor and I thank him for his patience and support.

I have had a very positive experience working with Les. He is supportive, approachable, and always willing to help whenever I need guidance or assistance. His encouragement and willingness to share his knowledge have helped me build my confidence and develop my skills. I value his support and appreciate the positive impact he has had on my professional development.

My experience with Deere has been great. I really enjoy the way it is set up an the support available for me with my course, so much so that we had another person completing the same qualification move from another provider because they were not as good. Les has been great, he is always available and I enjoy the 1:1's as well as the masterclasses which is all down to Les. All of the content of the course has been relevant to my role, Les has been able to support with allocating tasks in line with what I have been currently doing in my role which has helped a lot and I have ben able to learn and put into practice so many different elements from the course.

Les is a great tutor, he is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in my success. Every session has been engaging, well-structured, and tailored to help me understand even the most challenging topics. Les has made such a positive impact on my learning journey, and I’m incredibly grateful for all his support. Five stars without hesitation!

Great module thanks

Happy with Deere, the best provider I have been involved with personally and professionally - smooth process, knowledgeable and empowering.

Thanks Louise, Catherine and Steven.
