Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
As the apprentice the admin falls to you. The upsides will depend on your team but there will always be admin.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
There are definitely fantastic elements, but I can be tough in places.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Feel as though once you leave the initial safety bubble, there could be more defined checkpoints, structure and rigidity to make sure all apprentices are learning at the same rate and so it's not down to individual teams/managers.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
As much as I need, on the proviso that I ask for it.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Ties in well together
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
Few and far between
