Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
When doing the job on site is good but when I college I feel like I don’t learn a great deal.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive a lot of support from my employer as I feel like I can speak to range of people if I have any problems.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I have a lot of support as the team that I work with help me with the job and tells me what job I should write about when doing my write ups.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I don’t think when I’m at the college it helps me with my job. But when I am on site it helps me preform better at my 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
Yes they are but I don’t get involved.
