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

Structure and Support

4/5
My program has a set structure (syllabus) so I would say that it is very organised
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I received a lot of support at the start of my apprenticeship but since new apprentices have joined there is not enough instructors to cope with the amount of apprentices and support is now minimal.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

We receive minimal support for college work also although we can ask to do college work at work if we have permission.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Getting a degree will absolutely help me perform better in my role.
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
There are many extra-curricular activities to partake in at work, social activities, sports, learning, teaching and networking.
