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 EA includes helping or assisting my coaches with tasks that they have or could pass onto me, such as scheduling meetings, completing expenses and completing timesheets.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy my programme as each day can be different as I am often given different things to work on.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed my skills with different Microsoft appliances such as Outlook, Word and Excel. In addition to this, I have gained a lot of confidence.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I believe my programme is well structured as everything is always laid out clear to me in advance, meaning I always know what is expected of me.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive a lot of support, I know that if I am ever struggling with something, I can ask a question and will get as much support as I need to understand this.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive a lot of support, recently, I was set back a lot when completing my assignment, however, they made sure to reschedule deadlines for me to give me back the time that I lost.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My qualifications allow me to identify where I have exceeded and places that I should work on. In addition to this, in order to meet descriptors in my assignments I may have to take on tasks that I am not familiar with.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
I am part of an EA networking team, meaning that I help set up the events as well as attending them.
