Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role as a General Manager involves over seeing the entire food and beverage operation within the venue, which includes everything from staff dining to high end delivery.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I found the course enjoyable in parts, for example I thoroughly enjoyed the parts of the course which were directly relatable to my role. Some modules I found it more difficult to relate to my role and therefore struggled to engage with the material.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I developed new skills within the business leadership space, specifically how to use correct language to have the best impact.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The course was well structured and very clear. Only criticism would be for each of the modules to be laid out in the same format.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer has been very supportive throughout the course, including support from my line manager and ongoing check ins from our apprenticeship team.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My initial coach was helpful however not effective. Once my latest coach took over my apprenticeship I feel I have really made progress and feel super supported.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The qualification I have gained I believe will help me for future roles, specifically as my role within the business grows having strong leadership skills will help me to make effective change for the business.
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 lots of opportunities to interact with peers in our business.
