Business and Administration Apprentice Review

Each day is different in my role and depends on the area you are in. Day to day roles can include travel booking, sending emails, training booking, approving timesheets, ordering stationery, distributing resources. However, this can differ and your team or manager will give you different roles depending on the needs.

The programme is organised. We are aware of when we will move placements and can ask questions to find out any information we are unsure of. As well as this, we move to different areas of the business where we will learn new skills and gain different insights to the business.

I have monthly 1 to 1s with my apprentice manager where we check in, I can also go to the team if I have any issues in between. The company are also very good at displaying where you can go for support if you needed any. If I wanted to embark on any additional training, my employer would give me time to do so.

With my college assessor, we have regular phone calls/in person catch ups, around once every two months. If I have any questions with any assignments in the mean time, I can email my assessor and she will give me the support required. If something I submit does not meet the requirements, I am made aware of this along with what I need to do to improve it.

The skills I am learning in the apprenticeship allows me to give the examples and demonstrations required for my college work. We have also completed workbooks and reading which gives us tips with how to handle different scenarios. As part of the apprenticeship, we have also taken part in different training courses.

It is a great company to work for, with many opportunities for progression. As well as this, the apprenticeship allows you to move around within the business which is great for people who are not sure what they would like to do. You are also well supported and helped with any issues.
