Business Administration Apprentice Review

In my role I provide admin support to teams around the business. In my first year I have worked in 4 different placements of the business to gain knowledge and skills in different areas. My day to day tasks include managing calendars, scheduling meetings, sending out documents, updating systems, making calls, sending out emails, working on spreadsheets, placing orders, collecting quotes.

My program is organised very well, and I'm super happy with support I have received. I have had regular meetings with my college tutor, including workbook workshops, catch up meetings and support at any time if needed. My managers have always given me enough time for my college work and have always given me support if needed. I have received a lot of training from my managers and teams to allow me to develop and learn new skills in my role.

I receive a lot of support from my employer. They always ensure I have enough work to do throughout the day, but also ensure I'm not overloaded with work. I have regular performance check ins and catch up to ensure I am satisfied with my work and do not have any problems. If there is a problem my employer would support me to overcome it.

My trainer provider has been great, he has given me support as of when needed. He has provided me with a lot of examples on how I can work towards my qualification. I have achieved a distinction as I have just finished my exams. He has helped me with mock assessments as well as workbook workshops and continuous support through guidance and information packs.

I think my qualification has really helped me with the training part of my role. Therefore I would say it has helped me a lot to perform well in my role as I was able to understand the tasks and perform them well at a high standard. The apprenticeship standard allowed me to focus on key topics of my role and gain knowledge I need to perform well in that area.

I am very satisfied working at Babcock. They treat their employees really well and really care about individuals goals and achievements. Babcock recognises individuals when they perform. The agile working means that people can work from home. Babcock is very collaborative and it is great to meet new people and teams every day as the company is very big you get to meet a lot of new people. Babcock salary for apprenticeships is also very high therefore this is definitely a bonus.
