Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
My programme could however be more organised and structured as I haven't got a time table of work set out throughout the year, I just get given work on a day and then its due in on a certain date. I would like to see a structured plan of my apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My employer is extremely supportive
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I receive good support from my training provider. I know that I can always email/call when I am in need of help. However, it is quite difficult since it is virtual, my first instinct is to go to my colleagues for help.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I know that I will gain the skills and experience needed to progress and i will be confident enough to carry out business/administrative duties.
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
Volunteering days to help the community
