“My experience as an MA Apprentice was exciting. I enjoyed being able to learn things then putting them into practice right away. I am more of a hands-on learner and being able to see the things we are learning put into action helped a lot. "All the MAs in this office were extremely helpful and still are. They are always close by and willing to help. Friendly and always positive.” |
