How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
During my business administration apprenticeship, my employer provided strong support through mentorship, on-the-job training, and study time. Regular feedback helped me develop skills, and I had access to resources for learning. While the support was helpful, at times, I felt more structured guidance could have improved my experience further.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My training provider offered valuable support through regular check-ins, study materials, and online resources. Tutors were available for guidance, and feedback on assignments helped me improve. While the support was generally good, there were times when quicker responses or more tailored help would have made the learning process smoother.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
My qualification provided a strong foundation in business administration, improving my understanding of key tasks like communication, organization, and data management. The coursework was relevant to my role, but some areas felt more theoretical than practical. Overall, it helped me develop essential skills, but more hands-on learning would be beneficial.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
At my workplace, there were some extra-curricular activities to get involved in, such as social events and networking opportunities. We had a Christmas party, which was a great way to connect with colleagues in a more relaxed setting. However, there weren’t many regular activities like sports teams or networking events.
