Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
On a day to day basis I am cleaning the salon and helping the stylists by passing up to them. I also get to have my own clients and do blowdrys and colours on them.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I love my apprenticeship! I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else. It’s amazing and I would recommend it to anyone.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
During my apprenticeship I have learnt many new skills. One of which is confidence in speaking to clients. This was a very big thing for me as I couldn’t even answer the phone at the start.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
My programme is organised quite well but I also get confused as sometimes the instructions aren’t clear.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My training provider is amazing. I’m always getting help when I need it.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel that it makes me perform a lot better because I am usually at work 5 days a week and being in the salon is much better than going to college
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
No
