Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role as an apprentice is to gain as much academic knowledge and experience as I can during the apprenticeship. We are involved in different activities each day, each as a chance to learn.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I am happy with how the work system is put in place, and how the roadmap for the apprenticeship is going.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I've learnt several new skills while doing the apprenticeship, while also reinforcing many of the skills I already have.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It is fairly quite a new program for the company, but still it is showing a high level of structure, while also improving quite steadily.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Help is provided when asked for, and there are structures put in place if further help is required.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
The support from the training provider is great, usually very fast responses too.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The qualification gives you plenty of hands on experience, which is well needed, while also supplying a great bit of knowledge to what you are doing.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
There are company based events that apprentices can apply to, but on a apprenticeship basis only, there aren't any extra activities, only self induced activities, like self study session for example.
