“The competition final real got me ready for my end point assessment and after competing in the finals my end point assessment was easy!”

Luke Merchant Automotive Technology Silver winner 2021

"It was good to push myself and working under the pressure of the competition has helped developed my confidence and timekeeping skills.

It was good to go and meet like-minded apprentices too, and overall an experience I won’t forget.

“Winning the silver medal at WorldSkills UK has helped me massively. I'm now more confident in myself and always trying my best to develop and grow my skills."

Ryan Lowry Refinishing Gold Winner 2021

“I enjoyed the whole aspect of competing against others and showing off my skills. The tasks were all under strict time constraints which made them all challenging as we had to manage each one differently but the experience was brilliant and I learned a few tips and tricks along the way all of which will be helpful in my career going forward.”
