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

4/5

Oversee the Transport department at depot from 6pm to 6am. Monitor incoming deliveries and organising the transport requirements for the depots daily deliveries. alongside this i coach and mentor the night team to help develop my team to improve our overall performance

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I have enjoyed being able to work at my own pace with the security of knowing that should I require and assistance it is available through my training provider. It has been an eye opener to how much I need to retain knowledge wise.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

The transport management cpc was great to achieve alongside my apprenticeship. I have learnt a lot in reference to the legal and health & safety requirements needed to fulfil my position. It also has helped me become more aware of how I can plan more effectively drivers working schedules

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

My only critique is that there have been topics and chapters in my course which could have been done before the transport management cpc which would have aided my learning alot more.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

3/5

My line manager has been supportive and a good point to use as reference point with my learning. Due to the nature of my shifts most of support has come from arranged meetings after my shifts or email conversations

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

3/5

changed tutor a quarter of the way into course. Both tutors have been accessible when needed. Both have engaged on monthly training sessions we have together. regular feedback sessions have been helpful.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

Its awoken me up to wider scope of knowledge and information that I need to obtain to be able to fulfil my role to level of confidence and assertiveness that others can believe in.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

3/5

Any extra curricular activities have become quite sparse events in our depot specifically.
