Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I get more structure from my training provider but their organisation could definitely be improved.
I'd say there is a need for the employer to have a more structured expectation on what they would like for apprentices especially considering having apprentices is a newer experience for my department.

How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
They're not much support for the professional qualification everything else is fine.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Professional qualification isn't relevant to my role, work based assignments are naturally more relevant
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
Various employee led networks
More has been done end of 2024 to have apprentice events which is good to see as there wasn't anything in my first year
