The apprenticeship programme is really good. Also all the collegues I have met at both work and college are extremely nice which makes it much more enjoyable.

4/5
Yes, I have learned SQL and Power Bi as well as developed my Excel skills.

The programme is structured well with 1 day a week to do college work and the rest of the week working for a very good company.

Endless amounts of support available with many contacts if I have any concerns who I can approach.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I am still towards the start of my journey but so far it has been good and I have meetings about my progress every 12 weeks.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I have learnt some things so far such as excel skills that have aided my 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.)

It is hard as it is in lockdown but they have still put on many quizes to attend and there is still a lot you can get involved with.
