Very organised and well presented to us apprentices. From my college course to my on the job all things are set out fore me to do and I am now up to scratch and finding things fun and steady.

5/5
My employer is on hand to help me at all times when I run into problems when testing but also when I may be struggling with things personally. I now don't see people here as my employers but more my friends.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Top Top support, throughout this whole process whenever I have had issues or questions about something my training provider is always on hand to help me and take as much time as needed to walk me through everything thoroughly.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It has definitely helped me understand more about different aspects of the business and the thought process goes into the roles that they do and how they work around problems they may face.
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
Absolutely, at Sage we get 5 foundation days per year to go into the local community and volunteer which is such a great feeling, so rewarding. As well as, every so often we get funded team meals and activity's to help bring us together more.
As well as, Sage provide and fund external courses to help learn new skills, in my case, coding courses to help me improve in my role.
