What our students say
We think our courses are pretty great but don't just take our word for it. Our students have been telling us all about their experiences at Bishop Burton College.
Tom Jackson - Apprentice
Since starting his Butchery apprentice journey in 2021 Tom has gone from strength to strength, building his skills, knowledge and understanding of the Butchery industry, to determine his interests lay in a more traditional butcher’s route. He is currently working as Executive Butcher and line manager at Timm Family Butchers and studying the Level 3 Advanced Butcher course to further augment his skills and has even met royalty!
Ashton Davies - Apprentice
Ashton is a Level 3 Butchery Apprentice with Cranswick Country Foods in Hull. When he started his apprenticeship, he had no prior knowledge of the industry but quickly found his feet and has grown in confidence and capability as a valued member of the Butchery team. He is now training to become a Production Line Manager alongside his apprenticeship and hopes to open his own Butchers shops in the future to support other young people with their career ambitions.
