"I am an apprentice with Verve and as part of my training attend Motherwell College on block-release. I am having a brilliant experience at the College - both the facilities and lecturers are excellent. My Modern Apprenticeship lasts for 3 and a half years and at the end of it I will be a qualified Service Technician."
