Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
As an Assistant Manager, I support the Business Manager in making sure that the restaurant is running as designed. This entails, training the management team and staff, completing admin work (schedule, inventory, etc), and reviewing KPIs.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The degree apprenticeship is organised well. They give us an early timetables which allpws us to plan for our whole year. The modules taught are designed and structured so that we can adapt our learnings to our job and apply it to make our work more efficient and enjoyable.

My employer has been supportive since I started the degree apprenticeship. They understand the concept of off-the-job hours and has always made sure that I get them every week.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Majority of the tutors are supportive and are making sure that we have all the resources we need. On the other hand, you get some tutors who aren’t as supportive and more interested with us completing tasks as suppose to the actual assessments.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It gives me better understanding of the wider industry and why the organisation makes the decisions they did.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
