Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
My apprenticeship programme is well structured with a breakdown given about what units I need to have completed by a certain time and regular visits whether over teams or face to face with my tutor.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
At the start of the programme I got quite a lot of support but then the store manager changed and was left to it on my own; however I have a new store manager now who is very helpful and gives me plenty of support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I cant fault the training provider. My tutor is very supportive and helpful if I have any questions about the work.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I think it really helps me as its teaching me all about the regulations and legislations that I need to follow and keep an eye on to not only better my own knowledge but so I can pass that knowledge on to the customer team members I manage.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
There's no extra curricular activities at work.

Yes
Why?
Although I have had a few ups and downs whilst working at this company as a whole they have been really supportive and helpful if I have any problems.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to The Co-op?
Do your research about the company like when it was founded what it means to be co-op. Co-op is a diverse company who accepts anyone from any sort of background regardless of race sexual orientation ect... so just be yourself and you should be fine
