To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I loved my course at first as my trainer was amazing and made the course fun. I was then passed from 4 different trainers and I was never told I had a new trainer until the day of my meetings. Luckily I finally got settled with a trainer who helped me through the rest of the course eventhough we were in lockdown he still made sure the learning was done

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I’ve learnt how to communicate better with the team & how to correctly set targets that are achievable. Also how to reward and praise the team.
How kitchen operations should be carried out to create the best experience for the guests

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It wasn’t as I was given 4 different trainers in the space of 3 months and nothing was communicated with me.
Our managers at work did not understand or what to be involved with my learning.
Once I finally got a settled trainer things worked out and the course was a breeze
How much support do you receive from your employer?
1/5
None. 100% none.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

From my first trainer 100% dedication of getting me through this course.
4 trainers later, finally got a set in stone trainer who again gave 100%
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
A lot. It’s made me realise a lot of areas I could improve and it taught me lessons and skills I can now apply to my work
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
Nope.
