Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I'm currently still on the apprenticeship. Can honestly say that it has been a rollercoaster for myself, however the support that is available to help me through the tough times has made it an easier experience. I have since passed both my Cat C practical and theory tests as all necessary training was given prior to even attempting them thus giving me the best chance and i will always hold the apprenticeship team in such a high regard. If its made available to you i wouldnt hesitate signing up for a Wren apprenticeship.
