It's Not Just What We Say

Claire

Foundation Education have been fantastic at helping me achieve my dreams of becoming a dental nurse. Any questions I have had, any time I have needed assistance and wasn’t sure on things, the help and support have always been reassuring and welcomed. Mark did a wonderful job in helping me find a clinic that could take me on for work placement and it ultimately guided me towards an employed position with the clinic so I am very happy. 

Our Vocational Placement Coordinators are dedicated to helping students gain work placement in the industry they’re studying. They’ll go the extra mile to support you in your application to ensure you have the best possible chance of meeting your course’s practical experience requirements.

 Your Vocational Placement Coordinator can review your resume and provide you with guidance on how to apply. If you’re having trouble finding a placement, we’ll liaise with employers on your behalf and help you search for work experience opportunities.

Consistency across teams, sites and shifts

Real training. Real employers. Real results.
