Victoria Gilbert Case Study

Victoria Gilbert, Technical Manager at Princes Soft Drinks has just completed her second qualification with t2 business solutions. Victoria has taken Management Modern Apprenticeship at Levels 3 and 4.

Victoria said: “I took these courses to increase my knowledge of management tools and obtain management qualifications that complemented my previous technical qualifications. As a technical manager, the qualifications provided an insight into how the Technical team interact, the effects of changing a member of the team, and how to communicate business objectives and goals.

“I was motivated to do the two qualifications because I think it is necessary for everyone to continually increase their knowledge as it is a resource for the individual and company. It also ensures continued development and helps with improvement of procedures and processes.

“The qualifications have had a huge effect on me and have assisted me in my career. Time management has been one of the major benefits of the qualification for me. I am now more organised with prioritised to-do lists and relevant information to hand. My personal life is always hectic with trying to balance being a mum and working full time, so planning work appointments around school holidays, teacher training days and other activities utilised the time management section of the qualification.

“When I was completing the qualification I was able to schedule time to learning and stick to it, allowing me to complete the qualifications very quickly. If I hadn’t been this strict with myself I would probably not have been able to complete them due to increases in work that followed shortly after.

“It was convenient at the time to learn whilst I worked so I was able to utilise work examples in my learning. I have enjoyed the challenges, meeting new people and gaining an insight into different industries. I am always interested in learning and improving my skills, so therefore I would be interested in completing further qualifications in the future.

“I have obtained a lot of personal gain from taking these courses, most importantly my time management skills. This has enabled me to free up more time to put to good use.

“I set out to complete my level 3 qualifications and went on to complete level 4. As a result I have achieved more than I expected when I originally signed up to t2.”
