Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I think the overall set-up of the course is extremely affective especially to someone who didn't know what they wanted to do in life. It allows me to get a feel for most of the key business units in the company which very few organisations have this set-up.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
In these short months, I have learnt a huge amount and have gained a variety of skills that I can implement in future positions within the company.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I do appreciate the fact that the apprenticeship has only been set up for 2 years and there are still things being worked out, however I think a few things can be improved such as having a map of the overall plan of the placements I will be visiting on my time. On the other hand, everything else has been brilliant.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Amazing support with anything and everything I could possibly need
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
