I have really enjoyed the programme so far- the initial activities I have recently completed were relevant and engaging. My assessor is responsive, knowledgeable and flexible. My manager is supportive and always encouraging. The curriculum has been sequenced effectively and strategically.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I am confident this higher level apprenticeship (level 5) will enable me to further develop my leadership/management skills including decision making, budgeting, relationship building, taking accountability, conflict management and setting goals and expectations. I have played an active role when it came to curriculum sequencing and the structure of the programme seems to be perfectly suited.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
During my onboarding session, completed in March, the provider explained exactly how the programme would be structured and offered flexibility with modules. I have played a key role when it came to curriculum sequencing. My manager also had a vital input. I have a good understanding of what skills, knowledge and behaviors I will be able to develop throughout the programme as well as of EPA activities.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have received continued support from my employer over the years. I started in 2016 as an intern. In 2017 I accepted a full time role as operations assistant and shortly after moved onto management. I was given the opportunity to complete a level 3 apprenticeship a couple of years ago and I have now been given the opportunity to further develop my leadership skills by completing a higher level apprenticeship. My manager provides me with incredible support, advice and guidance on a regular basis. I am proud to be part of an organisation committed to career development and encouraging positive progressions.
