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 supervisor in Branch. I have a number of roles to fulfill amongst supervising staff that include serving on the counter, forklift truck work, booking goods in and servicing equipment in the tool hire.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I found the programme very informative and a fantastic experience which gave me a chance to learn as well as meet new people. I really enjoyed this programme and the chance to gain new qualifications.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
The apprenticeship gave me more confidence to express my self in front of others, creating presentations in the workshop environment and presenting back to a team. I learnt how to deal with different personalities in the workplace as well as the health and safety fundamentals and keeping people safe.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The programme was well organised although there was a lot of work to get through in the period of the time that the course lasted. I found the workshops spaced out JUST RIGHT THOUGH.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
My employers were very good and gave me plenty of time to complete my work within the branch and were there for any questions i had.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The training providers were very good and were always available to phone or email if i needed help. I found this very good as it allowed me to plough on with my work rather than be stuck until the next workshop to speak to someone.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Its not so much the qualification but the work done on the qualification that has given me confidence.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There are currently no extra curricular activities to take part in although this would probably be difficult during the pandemic anyway.
