With more than 20 years’ experience in post compulsory education, hospitality and learning & development, Dan is an assessment and apprenticeship specialist with a real passion for vocational learning.
Dan says ‘I’ve seen first-hand the transformational nature of apprenticeships and I am more passionate about them today than I have ever been before. Apprenticeships offer incredible opportunities for both employer and employee. Our role as educators has changed completely too. No longer are training providers or employers bound by a fixed syllabus, but they can create meaningful learning experiences that really affect positive change for learners and clients alike.’
