I have learn how to work with initiative in many different ways as there are always challenges popping up that I have to overcome.

4/5

My apprenticeship is well structured and lengthened out so we are never bored. Some parts get a bit slow but thats just because sometimes we complete the work and there are no tasks left.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

There is a lot of support in the Business in the way we have been given many different numbers to contact help if we need it. Our apprenticeship provider also has supplied a number incase we need it.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

We are left to learn what we need to by ourselves/with peers which helps us independently learn what we need to.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

My qualification will give me a chance at a career. Just in the few months I have been here has definitely helped me as a person and and a worker.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

5/5

There are extra curricular activities around the business but I am yet to attend any due to how busy i am in work. But if i asked they would be more than happy to let me attend.
