To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy my apprenticeship as it allows for me to build upon skills that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do if it was not for the programme. I like the independent learning that i do as it allows me to increase my skills within my professional area.

3/5
Yes i have been able to bring my experience on planning, risks, issues, contract management & procurement up to the standard in which is needed to become a project manager.

There is some miscommunication regarding standards and what is needed within case studies. However the overall structure of the apprenticeship is great at developing your knowledge and practical skills, by combining the practicality of case studies and the knowledge based workshops.
