Hear from some of our Microsoft apprentices

"Having TDM as my training provider has made a real difference. Their support has been constant and genuine, through regular check-ins and guidance whenever I need it. Knowing that I’m supported not just academically but personally has made a huge difference to my journey.

With several months of my apprenticeship behind me, I can honestly say that I’ve grown in ways I didn’t expect. Meeting people from different backgrounds and listening to their stories has broadened my perspective. I’ve become more comfortable in professional settings, more willing to share my ideas, and more open to challenges.”

Aarushi
Account Technology Strategist at Microsoft

“I chose a degree apprenticeship because I wanted to grow my professional network and learn hands-on skills relevant to my industry.

My apprenticeship has kickstarted my career and helped build my confidence both as a professional and as a student....TDM’s skills-first approach to learning has given me a broad toolkit of learnings I can apply in my job."

Daisy
Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft

"Throughout the programme, I have had the opportunity to learn from multiple managers and mentors, each of whom has contributed to my personal and professional development.

These experiences have helped me grow in confidence, adaptability, and problem-solving, while also teaching me how to operate effectively in a fast-paced professional environment.

TDM has played a significant role in supporting my development throughout the apprenticeship. The monthly coaching sessions have been particularly valuable, helping me set clear goals, reflect on my progress, and identify areas for improvement. TDM provides clear expectations and metrics for evidencing learning in the workplace, which has helped me stay organised and focused.“
