A Barrow mum has landed an apprenticeship with BAE Systems after completing courses at PHX Training.

Rose Bradley, 31, visited the Barrow office with the aim of completing her maths and English functional skill qualifications under the guidance of PHX tutor Emma Weatherall, who supported her in applying for an apprenticeship.

Her hard work has resulted in her being awarded an Intermediate Ancillary Lifting Manufacturing Support Apprenticeship role with BAE System, which she will be starting in September.

As part of her support, Ms Bradley also benefitted from a National Careers Adviser who helped her identify her skills, updated her CV, and provided guidance on interview techniques.

This support also included identifying courses that could bolster her apprenticeship application.

With PHX Training, Ms Bradley completed her English Level 2 and is currently studying to pass her maths Level 2 course.

This course is designed to help learners improve their basic maths skills, gain confidence with numbers, and achieve their career goals.

Ms Bradley said: "The way the courses are delivered suits my needs, as I can access the learning at home.

"This fits around my home life and being a mum.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my learning at PHX Training and hope that once I have finished, I will still have time to go into the centre and catch up with the staff."

Ms Weatherall said: "It’s inspiring to see Rose’s development since she first came to visit us at PHX.

"She continues to show a great attitude and will have two recognised qualifications with us once she has finished her Maths Level 2 course."
