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

In my day to day role I would serve customers, take enquiries over the telephone or email and devise quotes on materials for customers. I would also manage the local housing trust account.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoyed my programme, it gave me lots of information and confidence to utilise the skills learnt within my role to progress and develop within the branch.

5/5
I have learnt a lot of new skills from my apprenticeship including communicating with people at all levels and sales skills and techniques.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very well organised and structured. Everything was planned out and I knew exactly what I was doing each week.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I received a lot of support throughout the course from my Mentor, who checked in and provided support whenever needed. I also received support from my branch manager who allowed time in the branch to complete tasks and work. Finally I received support from my colleagues, they helped me understand business information and shared their experiences to support me too.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I received a lot of support, nothing was too much trouble and if I had any questions, I had a point of contact that I was able to get in touch with at any point.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
This qualification has helped me greatly because I now feel more comfortable and confident in my role. I understand the aims and strategy of the business so I can work in line with this to ensure I am achieving both what i want to and what the business requires too.
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
Yes, there are so many other activities to get involved in.
We have regional meetings we can attend to learn more about the business and network.
We go out once a month as a team, food, drinks, bowling and we all spend time together to build working relationships and bond.
