Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

Creating estimates for projects.
Supporting the team with winning projects.
Measurement/quantification/cost planning.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I quite like looking at figures so I do enjoy what I do. Mace have also been very supporting throughout the programme so far.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

Yes, over the past couple of years I went from knowing nothing about my job role to being able to do it on a daily basis.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

I have regular reviews with my manager and he asks whether I need help with anything and offers advice.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

Mace are very supportive towards apprentices and I have noticed this from day 1 and my colleagues are approachable. "There's no such thing as a silly question."

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

I personally feel that it helps in an apprenticeship to have the one day release method. Therefore, I can study on one day and then be applying the knowledge I learnt the next day.
