To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

The support was always there, however i often chose to try and work through things myself when possible
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The support from firebrand was excellent, especially my learning mentor who would always go the extra mile to help. The support i think was the most compelling takeaway from the whole apprenticeship
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I wouldn't be doing the work i am without the learning from the apprenticeship, i am a lot more confident in not only interacting but also completing work building reports and using programming languages
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
Yes lots but i prefer to keep to myself
