Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

I am a quantity surveying apprentice. My role at the moment revolves around creating scopes of works (and the documents that go with it), placing purchase orders as well as other forms of payments and completing any other task in order to support the team.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I am enjoying it so far.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have learnt how to use excel, use blue beam, read building plans, navigate the shared files systems, present myself and information in meetings/ to my team, time management and organisation and much more.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

My day at work is structured. Collage has not been so structured, but this is due to a change in tutors and so teaching styles and expectations.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

I have received lots of support from my employer, with a mentor and frequent site walks and learning opportunities

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

2/5

So far the training provider has been not as helpful as they could be. But as said before this is mainly due to the change in tutors and the lack of clarity that comes with this.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

The qualification that I am working towards will allow me to have a more well rounded understanding of the construction industry, what impacts my role and the part I have to play.
