Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Front of house member which means I serve customers food and drink to a high standard in order for them to be satisfied by the service they receive.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my programme because I’m always learning new things, and if I’m struggling my trainer is really supportive and makes sure everything is all ok.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes I have learnt loads of new skills and techniques in order to not only make my service better, but my manner and tone in which I work with. And lots of stuff about office work that customers don’t see.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Very organised in terms of meetings being on time and with what work needs completing, when sending emails. I just feel like sometimes my trainer can be a little to busy and therefor have to wait 6 weeks rather than 4 weeks between meeting so I don’t compete it as quick as which I could.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer has always been very supportive, but they are always there to help if required.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
As much as required which is reassuring just incase I need any help I know that it’s always there.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It’s helps massively as I learn new things all time that I can then change and I know that I’m now doing things the right way and giving the customers a better level of service in which they require.
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
Yes there’s always thing to get involved in or even to organise and then lots will always get involved.
