Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
As an SAP Functional consultant your role will involve implementing SAP in different businesses. It needs good communication and trust between yourself and the costumer to work out what is needed to improve their systems. You need to plan and review various outcomes and vision whether it is suitable for the customer.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the programme due to its flexible nature and the fact no day is the same as the other, you will always have room to grow and learn new things and do new things, if it’s one thing it is not boring whatsoever. It has been enjoyable to also be part of a sort of community too.

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I would say it is organised pretty well,each department has its own team lead and you as an apprentice are given a buddy and a reviewer who help you with anything your unsure of and always assess your progress and push you to do better. It is organised in such a way also that everyone gets a reviewer and a buddy.
