How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
As my university is all online, it's difficult to reach all the departments as in when they're needed.
There are weekly forums for each new topic of new assignment.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
The first year of my degree has little to no specific relation to my role as a quantity surveyor, in terms of applying my knowledge directly to my role on a day to day basis.
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 were orientation events at the start of my apprenticeship, but since then there has been a paucity of social events for apprentices.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Mace Construct?
I would do thorough research on the company and the role that you're applying for.
I would also research level 6 apprenticeships all together and check if you could personally handle the requirements of an apprenticeship.
