Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My apprenticeship is split into 3 years, I am currently a first year student so am full time at college. The course is challenging and engaging where I am gaining knowledge of the basics required of my job position and the business I work within. As a higher apprentice I am studying the HNC course.

How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I am currently receiving lots of support from my line managers and other members if the business. If I have any concerns I know exactly who to ask and they will support me through the process of getting an answer.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
A good amount of support currently being a full time student as the college for the first year, I'm sure this will be the same case following into the second year on day release.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
From attending the site I can see some of the learning that has been performed at college links to the business but from asking other colleagues they believe there is a lot more which we should be taught from the college which better suits our actual job role. The course is a whole overview which means that some information may not be needed.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
