4/5
I have learnt new skills and developed existing skills through training in the workplace and with my training provider.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Programme is very structured and there are lots of materials available online in different learning styles, for example, in a more interactive way rather than just reading textbooks.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
We have a weekly dedicated study day where we do not work to complete our apprenticeship study.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Training provider is supportive with regular progress review meetings
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It gives me the knowledge of how to practice law rather than the underlying principles and theories of law that you learnt at undergraduate level.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

We have an early careers network and apprenticeship cohort events.
