Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I deal with after travel feedback that comes through to the directors office.

I follow our holiday guidelines and quality monitoring to provide best possible outcome for our customers.

Skills Development

5/5
I have developed in my customer service since doing my apprenticeship, outlining the importance of customer service has been really beneficial. In particular, I have gained confidence and I am better at active listening to our customers so they feel like we understand and listen, this allows me to empathise.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
My programme is very well organised. We have a rota sent to us with our weekly rotation for each month - we usually get 6 months up front. We have a 121 with out tutor planned in once a month in advance but we can reach out any time. During our 121's we are provided with clear instructions on what we are to do by the next session.

Lots of support is provided. 121's, direct contact with my tutor, feedback on assignments, resources, time put into our schedule to complete aswell if need be.
