To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I really enjoy the programme. I have enjoyed seeing the different range of areas you work on. Some tasks you can relate to quite easily with my job, others not so much, this is what makes it interesting. I enjoy the independency of some tasks, and the group discussions too.

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The programme is well structured, regular weekly calls on the topic you are working on, followed by calls with the mentor also. I like how you can email the tutor or mentor with any queries or questions and they will come back very quickly to help with any issues. This helps build confidence on the topic.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
My employer has been very helpful. Due to the 20% off the job requirement which is set at the beginning of the course, this means i get all thursdays off to focus on my apprenticeship. This was tied in with the calls on thursday mornings with my tutor. If i needed to change any dates for exams etc then i could do.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive plenty of support. regular weekly calls on the topic you are working on, followed by calls with the mentor also. I like how you can email the tutor or mentor with any queries or questions and they will come back very quickly to help with any issues. This helps build confidence on the topic.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It has helped me progress. I was a purchase ledger clerk when i started the qualification, and have since become a senior, and now a supervisor. It has helped me learn new skills, grow confidence in myself to complete tasks. It has helped me gain an understanding of other roles which i wouldnt normally see until i did my course.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
