How I came to Choice Training Ltd

I first came to Choice Training Ltd as a learner, I had to leave my previous job to become a carer. During this time I was able to study while caring. After successful completing my course, I won the student of the year award, and after that was offered a job by Choice Training to become a teaching assistant at first, doing 2 or 3 days a week when needed, while I was working on site for the other 2 or 3 days. I then progressed on to be a full time tutor.

Previous Work

As soon as I left school, I did my level 2 in plumbing, I then continued working on site. I worked at the London Olympic Park in Stratford for a year building the changing rooms at the Olympic swimming pool. Once I finished working at the Olympic Park, I moved to an interior design company called Increation. They specialized in kitchens and bathrooms, I mainly helped the carpenters in the workshop to create bespoke furniture. I then went on site to install the furniture in various locations, ranging from domestic properties to libraries. We also designed and built furniture for 5 houses for the South African President, Jacob Zuma. After working at Increation for 2 years, I then moved to work at the BT film studio in Stratford as part of the Here East development. All 176 dressing rooms had to be fitted with en-suite toilets, wash hand basins and showers, It was my job to install these rooms from start to finish. I left BT sport to become a carer where I studied at Choice Training Ltd. Before becoming a full time tutor, I was working 2 or 3 days a week doing domestic bathroom suites and kitchens, including the removal, changing of pipework, and electrical work, plastering, installing fixtures, tiling and grouting. Throughout all of these jobs I also worked part time at weekend for a company called Ice House. They specialize in events where they would provide walk-in fridges for catering events, beer festivals etc. For Ice House I have worked at big events such as Wimbledon, The Royal Ascot and at the Excel for various events. My role was to work with my team, we would build the fridges, install the motors, and then stay at the event to fix any maintenance issues.
