How well organised/structured is your programme?

My programme is well organised. We have had the 4 year plan of the apprenticeship explained to us many times. If you ever get confused you can contact your ITM who will point you in the right direction and offer any support that is needed.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive a good amount of support from my employer.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
MAKE UK are a good company to provide your qualifications, although at times the tutors can be stretched as more times than not they may be off with illness.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
My job role is different to most of the other apprentices. My job role is a technician, whereas the majority of the apprentices are maintenance. The apprenticeship is mainly tailored towards maintenance, although I have received support from my training provider when asked upon.
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 is a discord group where employees can arrange extra curricular events.
