It has been structured perfectly, I am able to live my student life during the term and then for the first two years of my course, just work and gain valuable experience over the summer.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I do receive a lot of support from my employer, but also from my liaison at my university.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My university (training provider), supports me a lot, I have weekly 20 minutes sessions with my "form group", where we discuss anything that is bothering us.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I think the constant check up by my training provider helps me to not fall behind on work.
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
So my employer has regular social events to allow us apprentices to get to know each other, I play football at my university.
