To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
So far I am enjoying it but like I said previously, this is just the beginning, I only started 2 weeks ago so it's difficult to comment
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I am at the very beginning of this Apprenticeship so it is difficult to say so far but I chose this particular one because I want to work on these skills and move over into our People Services team
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It seems to be very well structured and we have been given all the submission dates already and most of the dates for the workshops, I believe there a couple still to come
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
So far, not been great due to labour constraints and lack of Managers, there isn't anywhere quiet at work where I wont get bothered so ideally need to do this from home. I have asked for this moving forward so will see what happens. When I looked at next months schedule there wasn't anything on there so I have again asked for this to be made clear. I'm happy to go off and find tine myself but I shouldn't have to. I do need a quiet space where I wont be bothered and this doesn't exist in the workplace
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Again, I've just started, so this would have been better asked 6 months down the line
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Hopefully it will give me some knowledge and skills to improve the people practices of my entire team
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
We don't really have anything like that at work
