During this apprenticeship, I have became more confident in myself as an AM. I believe I have learnt a lot through this period which has made me better at the role.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
My programme is well structured, it is good to separate the job from the apprenticeship work, which Softcat have done a really good job of.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
We receive a lot of support. This ranges from wellbeing to professional support. The support is always provided by our managers and peers.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
We receive a good amount of support which allows us to be structured and not fall behind. This allows us to get ahead in the programme, which is the goal we are heading towards.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It allows us to look at stuff from a different perspective as opposed to one. This lets us find our own unique style.
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
We have social events on regularly which are great in helping you settle in. We are also in the process of creating a football team.
