To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I have enjoyed the programme from the very get-go and have made my thoughts very clear to everyone. There has rarely been a day where I was finding something challenging and then was unable to receive help.

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
In terms of structure, I have always been on top of things due to the communication levels between all parties. For this reason, there has rarely been a time where I was unsure of what to do next as we (Apprentices) were always alerted.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
If anyone were to have a query, it would be resolved instantly. I, myself had a query involving a service that required myself to be away from work for a week. I was able to effectively communicate with my employer and then complete my jury service.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
As mentioned before, we (Apprentices) are always aware/on top of things due to the support and communication levels we are receiving on a great consistent level.
There was a time where I needed some assistance in regards to coursework and I was able to then receive help with this.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
With all the skills I had learnt with the online learning platform (Cognassist) as-well as one-to-one conversations with my tutor and training provider. I was able to receive adequate enough help from the very get-go of my apprenticeship right up until the time I had gained my Teschkng Assistant qualification
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
I have been lucky enough to have been promoted in terms of post as I am now working as Sports Coach due at my current school. I am lucky enough to have been able to gain this position due to communication between my training provider and school.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Inspire ATA Ltd. to a friend?
Yes
Why?
If an apprenticeship was on their mind, I would instantly direct them towards Inspire as I believe he/she would receive the exact same amount of support/help I have received over the past 2 years.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Inspire ATA Ltd.?
I would definitely let them know that that if they were to have a query at any stage, to make sure that they speak to someone. Being able to communicate efficiently has allowed me to come a very long way compared to when I first started with Inspire ATA.
