[![Book a discovery call](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/146721669/interactive-265521688787.png)](https://www.impactacademy.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLKg0O4cSRMYooAIDNI6ekfMgCwi2dHz%2BhArJAM%2FaY%2BADvDOaVq9qntsV%2FZOwizujXytH%2BmIvKTHi8PBWvqw6X9Y8Bgp7pC2Bo9BdHpY9HGyYb%2B5B1zy1YhZj6cMqI2l2wAAH4bRIc9ZmGGeVYri0AHLrbzeGJ0rSirWUVPB84uT3RxJgmuwHcbIeu%2FDcXYG9zElPIxn&webInteractiveContentId=265521688787&portalId=146721669) For Arthur Burgess, an energy and [sustainability](https://www.impactacademy.uk/blogs/energy-apprenticeships-reach-net-zero-goals) graduate at CBRE, completing a Level 3 apprenticeship with Impact Academy was a practical step in [strengthening](https://www.impactacademy.uk/blogs/case-study-business-energy-direct-workforce) his skills while continuing to build his career within a global organisation. Arthur joined the apprenticeship as part of CBRE’s graduate programme, bringing with him a strong academic foundation, including a master’s degree in engineering. Rather than viewing the apprenticeship as a starting point, Arthur saw it as an opportunity to upskill and gain structured, role-relevant training alongside his day-to-day responsibilities. He said: “The apprenticeship was part of my employer’s graduate programme, so it felt like a natural next step in my development.” ## **Building Capability Alongside Employment** Balancing professional responsibilities with structured learning can be challenging, particularly in technical roles. For Arthur, the apprenticeship provided a clear framework that allowed him to apply learning directly to his role in energy and sustainability, supporting both his own development and his employer’s objectives. The programme focused on strengthening practical knowledge and reinforcing professional competence, helping Arthur become a more skilled and effective member of the team. From CBRE’s perspective, this translated into increased capability within the business, greater confidence in Arthur’s contribution and the chance to develop an effective and long-term employee from the outset. This alignment between learner development and business impact is a core strength of well-designed apprenticeship programmes, particularly when embedded within graduate pathways. ## **Learning Experience With Impact Academy** A key highlight of Arthur’s experience was the structure and accessibility of the learning itself. Impact Academy’s online learning portal played an important role in enabling Arthur to manage his studies alongside work commitments, offering a clear, easy-to-navigate platform that supported independent learning. Strong communication also made Arthur’s experience with the apprenticeship a positive one. In addition, the clear guidance and regular communication he received helped ensure expectations were understood and deadlines managed effectively, something that is especially important for learners balancing multiple responsibilities. “The learning portal was easy to use, which made managing the apprenticeship alongside work much more straightforward,” added Arthur, “and Impact Academy communicated effectively with me throughout the apprenticeship.” ## **Achieving Completion And Career Progression** Completing the apprenticeship assessment was a significant milestone for Arthur and one of the standout moments of the programme. Successfully achieving completion reinforced both his technical capability and his commitment to professional development. Most importantly, the apprenticeship supported Arthur’s continued employment with CBRE, providing a clear progression pathway beyond the programme itself. Rather than being an endpoint, the apprenticeship became part of a longer-term development journey within the organisation. He said: “Completing the assessment was a real highlight for me, and the apprenticeship has created continued employment opportunities for my future career.” ## **Recommendation And Reflection** The results speak for themselves, and when candidates like Arthur achieve what they want and excel in their chosen career, then we know we’ve done a good job. Consequently, he would recommend Impact Academy to others, particularly when the apprenticeship standard aligns well with the learner’s level of development and career goals. He said: “If the course is the right level for your development, Impact Academy is well organised and effective at delivering teaching. “I’d definitely do it all again.” Impact Academy partners with employers to deliver structured, effective [apprenticeships](https://www.impactacademy.uk/energy-management-training) that turn learning into real workplace impact.
