Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Preparation of customer quotes and tenders and management of price files.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoyed the process of learning new skills.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I learnt and improved my skills and understanding around the data life cycle, The proper preparation and control of data. I also improved my understanding of software solutions such as SQL, Python, R and in particular PowerBI.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
The programme covered what I believe to be all the relevant and important topics but the order in which the training was delivered was not always the best. With some early modules really needing an understanding of knowledge and skills that were not taught until later modules.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My employer gave me the time I need to complete the apprenticeship, despite difficulties with staff shortages during the period I was completing the course.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
The learning modules themselves were excellent both the pre-written learning and online classroom learning. However the interaction with the learning coordinator and in particular assistance with and feedback on coursework completion could of been better.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I have learnt new skills that should improve and speed up much of my day to day activities. Which should mean time to explore some of the new skills to enhance what I offer to my employer.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
No
