3/5
I am really enjoying learning industry skills but wish the role was more production based as most of my work takes place over online

4/5
Yes I had zero experience in the industry and now I can deliver trails!
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
very - we have schedules and checklists for each step
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I recieve a lot of support - monthly meetings to check how I'm doing
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
A fair bit - we always know safeguarding information but I wish there was more support for London apprentices to experience placements or new opportunities for extended periods of time (as other apprentices across the country have placement oppertunities), especially as I didn't feel fully informed about what my role in my department would be before joining (e.g. I would have picked a more production heavy role rather than post production, even though I am enjoying my placement)
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It was good initially as I had zero industry experience, however recently I am finding it is taking away time from valuable job experience that can actually hinder me at work - for example I started taking on projects myself but had to abandon them to go on a training week, where I learnt pretty much the same topics that I had learnt before. However it is nice to have a break from stress on training days
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
Yes there are regular social events
