Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Very friendly and supportive environment. Positive daily interactions with all members of staff, as well as classmates. There's a mixture of classroom learning and practical tasks. Going out with a mentor during patch time and having hands on learning is good. The classroom learning can be a dull.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I have enjoyed learning new skills, and making new friends.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Yes, I have definitely learnt many new skills here.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
There is room for improvement here. There are times it doesn't seem that well organised from being given tools and vans, to the structure of classroom learning.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I think we do get a strong level of support from our employer.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
We do seem to get a lot of support towards our qualifications
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The qualification provides more confidence in what I need to do within my specific 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.)
3/5
I have enjoyed taking part in recruitment events, the women's networking events, and the patch events. I am looking forward to doing volunteering.
