On a day-to-day basis, I prepare soup and make sandwiches for the coffee shop. I also complete food preparation for different dinners that take place weekly at the museum. My role involves organising ingredients, following recipes, and making sure the food is prepared to a high standard
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy being an apprentice because it is teaching me many different ways to cook and how to deliver food to customers professionally. I also enjoy learning new skills and improving my knowledge every day.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Learning about British values is very important to me. They help me understand how people in the UK live and treat each other. British values include democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance for people of different backgrounds and beliefs. These values teach us to respect others, follow rules, and live together peacefully in a diverse society.

The programme includes a good balance of theory and practical activities. I learn the main ideas first, then I practise them through discussions, group work, or real-life tasks

My employer gives me time to focus on my learning and development. They encourage me to improve my skills and apply what I learn in my daily work. Regular communication and feedback help me grow and build my confidence.

My tutor is very supportive and available whenever I need help. I can ask questions, and they provide detailed feedback on my work, which helps me improve. They also check my progress regularly to make sure I am on track and meeting deadlines.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The training helps me understand my responsibilities more clearly and improve the quality of my work. I have also developed better communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills, which are very important in my role.
