From first job to care home manager — here's what our graduates say about the journey.

I was a supermarket manager at 34 with no care experience. Six months after finishing my Level 3, I'm a senior support worker — and I earn more than I ever did in retail. ACS made the whole process feel achievable.

I'd been a healthcare assistant for four years but felt completely stuck. The Level 5 Leadership Diploma gave me the language and the confidence to go for a management role. I was promoted within three months of completing it.

After 10 years in the sector I wanted to give something back. The L3 Award in Education and Training was exactly the right next step. I now deliver training myself and genuinely love it.
