Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Managing a showroom, designing kitchens, managing a designer, selling, after sales, building the business, dealing with complaints and overseeing the running of the branch and customer service.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I love learning, so I really enjoyed the course. I think COVID threw in some issues and we had to adapt how we worked which hindered some of the programme.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Confidence, problem solving, holding reviews, escalating issues, managing projects, developing myself and being more aware.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Very well, but there needs to be more prep for the epa, this is where I think I may have failed and where I am least confident.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
From the apprenticeship team I couldn't have asked for anything more. From Benchmarx, I haven't found a huge deal of interest or support. It felt like I should do my own thing and get on with it alone.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Regular emails and contact. Advice and support thorughout.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

1/5
No
