Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
To be honest, how the programme is structured is quite poor. As they haven’t had an apprenticeship since 2009, we are Guinea pigs & it’s as if we are all trying to figure things out.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Good support
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Decent support
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
All I know is that trainers are not to blame for the structure of how it is.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
We don’t do any team sports
