Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
No 2 days are the same but I have taken on a role assisting senior brokers with the system based tasks as well as gradually getting more involved in account work.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I found some of the program really helpful and feel as if coming out of school, it gave me some structure however found some of the tasks irrelevant to my role.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed my practical skills on excel, my analytical skills, my interpersonal skills as well as my confidence and maturity.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Program is extremely structured with time frames which assists you in remaining on track however does add an extra element of pressure which can be counter productive.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer has provided a perfect amount of support. My team allow me to dedicate time to my apprenticeship, the learning development team set up regular check ins as well as additional sessions to develop our learning.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I feel as if its dependent on the scenario. I have felt a lack of support when completing exams which create another part of my qualification but when doing the exams which are hosted by the training provider I have felt supported.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I feel as if the Cert CII allows me to gain credibility in my role however is not directed at my role specifically and the other exams hosted by my training provider have allowed me to gain confidence but again, we're completely irrelevant to my role.
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
I have attended several professional networking events and am partaking in a Taskforce to better the apprenticeship.
