Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
My programme is extremely well structured with a great manager and a great plan that means we know what we are going to do and achieve along the whole way of our apprenticeship.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a good amount of support from my employer with regular 1 to 1 sessions with my manager to see how I am getting on and what I can improve, and if I am enjoying the programme.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
We have regular calls which give a clear plan of what I need to achieve and good strategies and plans on how I can achieve those goals.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My qualification helps me in everyday work as I cannot take what I have read in the books and apply that to the work I am doing. Secondly, the online courses that we do help with the more sociable side of work, teaching you that everyone is different and how to communicate accordingly.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There are many social activities and networking events to get involved in. Since being at the company I have been to several work dos. Apprentice nights out and different functions including other people within a similar industry.
