Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Ensuring the restaurant runs smoothly and efficiently in order to serve customers food meeting the company’s beliefs , customer service is at the heart of my job role and managing people is also key this ensures that customer satisfaction is always at a high standard and the restaurants overall running is efficient.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my programme a lot , I think it has given me opportunities within my restaurant that I wouldn’t have necessarily been able to access before I had started my apprenticeship, for example I have been able to become a manager and progressing onto further opportunities such as a assistant manager later on

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt how to manage a group of people according to needs and how to meet people’s needs , I have learnt that understanding different styles people like to learn is important to incorporate and practice to ensure each staff member is working or their best ability and understanding what they are doing in their job role .

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
My programme is very well structured and is easy to access and insured I can keep up to date with all of my work and ensure is it always submitted on time , having access to a coach also helps with feeling supported and feeling like you can always have someone at hand to help you
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I received a lot of support from my employer as I have access to people within my restaurant all the time who are willing to help for example people who are also on the same apprenticeship as me who are able to offer help also aswell as past employees who have done it too
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive a lot of support from my training provider , this ensures I have a lifetime coach who is always there to help and I have access to email and call them whenever I need them aswell as others who work for lifetime who help me within my app for my apprenticeship
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel very confident that it helps me perform better as it helps me have a better understanding of how to run a shift and how to understand people’s behaviour and preferred learning styles , before this I didn’t realise how many different ones there were and how different everybody learns
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
Yes we have outside of our apprenticeship work party’s where we can all get together , other than that I am not too sure about any other opportunities we have however we may have some I am just not aware of them as of yet but it is something I would be interested in
