“I think the HTQ is a great way into the industry because it provided me with that solid foundation to be able to get to grips with the technical understanding.
Employers are looking for people who can adapt and learn, so this qualification is a great way to start that journey and get those skills needed for the industry and for me it was also confidence building.”
