University has allowed me to study a range of topics specific to quantity surveying that you may not particularly learn in the day-to-day job
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I have a set day release everyday. Vinci are understanding of personal problems and there is an opportunity to work from home if necessary.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I talk to my manager everyday surrounding my workload. My employer is very involved in my day-to-day work.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
As well as the day release from university to attend lectures, Vinci are not hesitant when it comes to allowing time for study/overview content you may not be sure on that was covered in a lecture.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Some topics are relevant however technologies are forever changing so I don't believe university will ever truly capture the job role in it's essence, however topics are still relevant such as tips on excel sheets are covered.
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
I have had multiple opportunities for networking, such as a women in STEM meeting in London which is upcoming and an apprentice day in Sheffield. There are also webinars with other apprentices frequently which allows you to network.

Be yourself and charismatic, they are not just hiring for good grades they also want a reliable, good human with a sense of humour to join the team. Just relax!
