Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I find the programme well structured and very well organised there has only been once right through the whole programme that there has been a change to the sessions with my tutor which is very good. We all have to understand that family life sometimes can cause the structure of daily life and programmes to change but besides that the programme is well structured.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

I have had some good support from my employer they have giving me all the time out that I have needed to complete the work that is required within my apprenticeship I have been giving my day out every week and there is never been a problem doing my webinars within my work day either.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I have received support from my training provider he has giving me lots off good feedback on the work that I have completed within my apprenticeship and he has also said that I have grown in confidence with my maths and english and also on my computer skills through the year as well.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It helps me better perform in the way that I have grown a lot in confidence and giving me the ability to know that I can run my team with confidence and do my daily duties with more confidence and also giving me confidence in dealing with a difficult decision if it arises within the workplace.
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
We as a store like to go out and socialise when we get the chance work use to provide us with the ability to go out for a paid meal and drinks but now we get a 50 pound voucher we do get money on a card that we can use as a store to go out and do activities we like to go blowing as a store.
