Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Basic administrative tasks which involve some low level I.T knowledge to start with but becomes progressively in depth through the apprenticeship.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the programme, as a mixture of time spent studying and working, I find this is the best way to learn for me personally. I find that I am not pushed significantly and have to be proactive to seek opportunities to gain more responsibility and tasks in my day to day role (however from speaking to other apprentices, this is not the case in each team)
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Significant amount of technical and I.T skills within my first 6 months

Could be better supported from my employer, they have some good schemes where more experienced apprentices support the newer ones coming in.

Good level of support, very open to receiving questions and taking feedback on board

Definitely a good link between the education and my role, I felt much more confident within the first few months of working towards my qualification
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
Lots and lots of social events in London and sports clubs, less if you are outside of here though. Well organised
