Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Quoting account managers, looking to gain further discount on our products and maintaining customer relationships.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
It was a very good programme - one i would recommend to anyone!

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have both learnt and developed skills whilst being at Softcat, I had relatively fresh communication skills both verbally and over email, however after 18 months of being at Softcat, that has completely changed! I now feel far more confident in both!

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It was highly organised, monthly training and constant trips to meet up with other apprentices.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
100% support, I couldn't have asked for more from my buddy or mentors or manager!
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I received lots of support, monthly catchups along with 1-2-1 tuition throughout the 12 months.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It helped me to structure and organise myself much more than before.
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 play football as part of work, however, there are so many different clubs and networks I can join.
