Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Involves secretarial tasks such as printing, scanning, deed filing however I have only recently joined and so I'll be introduced to more tasks soon.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Still early but its been such a great environment and I always have people to rely on if I have questions.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have and will learn so many new skills. So far I've developed my communication, business etiquette, time management and professionalism in only 2 weeks of joining.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I will be beginning the apprenticeship course in around a month but from what I've heard its very well managed and structured, which will allow me to be highly productive and organised while learning and working.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I always feel supported and able to ask lots of questions. The first induction week was well laid out and taught us so much about our tasks and the company too. It is a great environment in my team and practise group, full of supportive people who are always willing to help.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
While not having started the training course yet, the emails and calls leading up to my commencement have been useful and informative.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The course seems to provide useful information that corresponds well with my role and will enable me to improve on my learning and my success in my job.
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
I haven't yet been involved in anything however the options available are wide and all seem enjoyable.
