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

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I thoroughly enjoy my apprenticeship

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes I have learnt many new skills

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
It honestly could be better organised as we tend to be given information very late in advance.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
We are entirely based at a college at the moment so we haven’t had much influence from our employers.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
We are given all the support possible.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I believe some things are not needed. However it does give us a good overview of what is expected of us.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Not that I know of. Other than a trip to a lodge at the end of the year.
