Yes, I already had customer service skills which I have expanded but I have learned lots of new skills

It’s not very well structured as we always seem to be too busy to actually focus on our apprenticeship, we are meant to be allocated 7 hours a week which we haven’t had in months

I feel that it will help me improve in future roles but not so much my current role
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
I have made excellent friends at work and we see eachother socially outside of work, I have also attended charity events
