Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work for Alfa power as an business administrator. We provide EV charging stations to the public and private business. I deal with clients providing business admin duties such as emailing to receive information on their details to be able to install the charger correctly. For example I need electricity details to be able to move forward with install.

From previous completing a customer service apprenticeship I wasn’t given any time to complete assignment work I had to complete this in my own time however through Babington I was assigned 1 day a week to complete any work that had to be done which helped me keep on track.

I have learnt about how to use skills to achieve the best possible outcome and the importanance of my behaviours and how I use this in emails and telephone activities. I have also learned how to be professional at all times and the importance of my body language as I have presented this in my assignment work.

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
In my opinion the system that is used being one file version 2 is extremely easy to use as this portrays task that are to be completed as they show as pending. But, when I have work returned form my trainer I’m struggling to locate this on the system to refer back to.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Form my experience, my company being Alfa power I have received an exceptional amount of support form my team members but especially my manager. I would say that this is an excellent company to work for with the help of Babington I was able to locate the company information that was needed to apply.

As I have set task on the subject of business administration I think that this helps me ful fuel my everyday duties as this gives me the knowledge and confidence I need to be able to complete fast to the best of my ability. I feel confident when entering EPA ( End Point Assment)
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
As the government guidelines have know lifted slightly the opertunity for team buliding has increased to outdoor activities. We are looking at having a sports afternoon for the full team to take part in such as go karting and bowling one evening so we can build as a united team.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Babington to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I would recommend Babington to a friend as I feel like I have been supported through every Avenue I have had to achieve over the last 7 months. The skills and knowledge I have gained whilst in this apprenticeship is more than I would have in a Collins I am first hand experiencing and undertaking the role that Will eventual me my career.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Babington?
The advice I would give is to fullfil the of the job training as much as you can as this wasn’t really explained how important and in-depth this needs to be. I would suggest doing this on a daily basis. I would also suggest that a workshop is provided all on the of the job training as this would prevent people falling behind.
