Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I write code and help in the application development. Ive worked across several departments in App Development, including data services and frontend development
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoyed the company I worked for, but I feel your apprenticeship experience can be very hit and miss if you get a bad tutor who doesn't give you guidance through the processes.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Ive expanded my knowledge of software development extensively

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
The course was well structured. I had issues with my tutor not giving me critical information. I was lucky that I was one of 2 apprentices in the company and the other apprentice had a great tutor who was very informative.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Extensive. Lots of time off to study and guidance to find projects.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
as noted above. could have been a lot better
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
the course gave structure to the learning process, but most of my knowledge has been developed through actually having hands on experience.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
