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

My role is an account exec I handle to the day to day activites of a few accounts by creating endorsements, eoc's, coc's billing etc.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
The company and my team have exceeded my expectations of how helpful and supportive they would be and have enjoyed every minute working with them. I feel that the apprenticeship side could provide more face to face support

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I feel I am learning new skills everyday form using internal programmes such as DMS and Servicehub but also always developing how i construct my emails to be more professional and efficient.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I would say the programme is well organised how ever they do not take into account any delays if you fail exams or have busy periods in work
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I am always in access to support whether it be my line manager or anyone in my team. The Growth company however could increase their support by being more responsive and communicative.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Not a lot - just the sessions are not enough and not informative enough. They are just read from the book which is already provided to us.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5

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
There is a surplus amount of activities in which i could get involved in sports wise and im always invited to company events
