Since finishing my course… life has been amazing. I got a job at Douglass Hanly within 3 months of graduating! I’m still working there now. Training at LTT was the best decision I ever made.

My first week at LTT, we had SGS come to visit us with a presentation about the type of work they do, and the job offers. What really excited me about SGS was that they offer a career and not just a job and that got me excited, because that is what I wanted. I was contacted during my course and was offered employment with them. LTT supported me and helped me transition to a traineeship to complete the rest of my course.
