As our career adviser, Nikki takes a personalised approach to each learner's journey. She engages in one-on-one discussions to understand their immediate and long-term goals, offering guidance on various aspects such as funding options and CV refinement. Nikki excels in optimising funding utilisation, particularly with schemes like the Advanced Learner Loan. Should a learner express interest in pursuing more than four qualifications, Nikki adeptly navigates the options, advising on which to fund privately and which to prioritise for loan funding based on their cost-effectiveness.

Nikki's guidance is consistently impartial, prioritising the best interests of every learner.
