To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
Enjoy learning new things, role can be quite administrate sometimes and learning doesn't always link directly to the job role

2/5
Course from woodspen is not organised and modules are mixed up so completing module based assignments is difficult as questions are not always in line with learning. Structure of the apprenticeship from the company is excellent. A clear development plan in place for apprentices

Development plans in place and progresses with manager regularly. Weekly 1:1 with mentors and managers to help my development and support my goals

3/5
All assignments are marked with feedback given. Requirements are unclear but if you ask then you usually get a clearer answer as to the structure of the course
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
Most learning is general and I cannot relate to my day job. Some learning is linked loosely to business wide processes
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
Early careers group days/nights out are arranged for all those on apprenticeship/grad schemes. Team building away days are organised and volunteering opportunities.
