How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is organised as, we have a plan that tell us what are we working and at what time of the year. We also have meeting with my manager on a day to day basis.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
The support that I have received from my employer/manager is unbelievable as when ever i need help at work or in my private life my manager/employer tries his best to help me as much as he can.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Not as much as everything is usually pressured on one teacher that is excellent at his job but they put too much pressure on him, and the result in that we are put under pressure too and have to do a lot of college work outside of work.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It teaches me discipline and opens my mind.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There use to be a lot of activities when I started my first year and it has changed in second year as we don't have as much activities as we did before.
