Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
1/5
I have enjoyed the job however the apprentiship programme has been lackluster and below par of what should be expected.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
yes i have learnt various skills and developed exisitng skills

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
Very poorly, It has not organised things well at all from the very beginning. One example is not having a clear plan with all managers and HR as to when the apprentiship ends and what that means for us. Another is not being introduced to all those in my cohort until 6 months into the job. All planned event have been very below par and very disapointing
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
I recieve a decent amount of support from my team and that has been very useful but the dedicated apprentiship people in the company have given no support which is dissapointing.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
I have received a shockingly low amount of support from the provider, my coach went missing for 3 months in which i ws never contacted about only to find that 3 months later, after chasing numerous times, that my coach had changed due to my old coach falling ill. I should have finished my qualification, however due to the actions of the training provider allowing 1/4 of a year to pass with no i have to rate the support as poor
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
Th e qualification is a means to an ends i need my CII in order to progress . The training providers qualification feels like a complete waste of time This is holding me back from completeling my CII as the provider makes you have to pass all their qualifications before i can take the last exam
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
