Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the content and the layout of the apprenticeship.

I have developed my Microsoft skills and learnt new laws and regulations businesses have to comply to in order to run a legal enterprise.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The beginning was disorganised due to my first tutor not holding tutorials and setting all my work as independent however my new tutor is very structured and communicative.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I now receive support as and when I need it.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I haven’t needed too much assistance so far however put tutorial sessions are helpful but could be more useful.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The assignments that develop our Microsoft skills are the most useful as we use that almost all day everyday.
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
There are many clubs I am involved with and many more options to partake in too.
