My programe has been a difficult one with lockdown and personal health issues and at times I have wanted to quit the training I have bern getting . But a new trainer has given me the support and time to get my self together and continue my course work with good success

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I found my program at first over whelming and very confusing . But with help from my trainer and showing me how to break task down to smaller peices and doing 1 at a time this has made the program more manageable for me and has helped to take the fear out of doing a task
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have had unbelievable amount of support from my trainer I cant thank him enough for his personal time and patience while I was going through some personal mental issues. Thanks to my trainer im in a better position to continue with my course work and pleased to say I'm doing good work
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I belive i have had 1000% support from my trainer. I can get confused and stressed when I don't understand something and my trainer could see the signs and approached the issue from a other angle to help me understand the relevant task in hand so completing the task
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I believe I have learned a lot of new information regarding my job and role as Head chef . It has also refreshed my memory on day day to things that you can forget but do naturally. I would recommend this course to any one looking a head to a brighter future
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Marston provide a Facebook staff page where we can boast the teams/pub achievements outside of the normal day to day running of the pub for example we do a lot of charity events where we can dress up and take part in the event depending on the theme its fun
