To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The team I work with make it very easy to enjoy this programme. I’ve also been allowed to have some freedom without being monitored.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I’m continually developing existing skills and try to learn something new every day.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I haven’t noticed any structure during my time on site but during College I’m aware of the curriculum and exams we are working towards.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
They are on hand if I need help with anything but generally allow me space to complete work independently.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I get excellent support from my training provider and find them very helpful and approachable.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I think it’s very important because it allows you to practice tasks and gain confidence. If I didn’t have my training providers coaching then I wouldn’t feel as competent to do my job.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes I’m aware of trade competitions that go on throughout the year a 5 -a-side football team and organised days out for apprentices.
