Evie’s been combining classroom learning with hands on experience at OFP Timber Frame as part of her T Level in Business Management and Administration.

“It’s been great to experience the practical side of business, such as in my work placement with St Lawrence’s College.
“There, I have been helping the bursary team, and have learnt so much about what they do and gained lots of first-hand experience when it comes to admin tasks.
“This course will help me in my future career so much, as I can leave College with experience rather than having to work my way from the ground up.”
“I absolutely love my course. Not only is the curriculum enriching, but all my teachers are very helpful and supportive when I need them.
“The environment they have created in my College classes has made my experience a great one.
“I used to be so nervous when presenting in front of a group of people, but I have learnt how to overcome this and become more confident.”
“I’m currently doing work placement at OFP Timber Frame at Discovery Park in Sandwich, which is an exciting opportunity.
“I’ve loved getting to grips with their software and systems as well as having them take me under their wing.
“I’d recommend the T Level as it is so fun and you get to interact and present pretty much every day.”
